Global warming has focused concern on land and sky as soaring temperatures intensify hurricanes, droughts and wildfires. But another climate crisis is unfolding, underfoot and out of view.

Be careful whom you call "stupid and shortsighted" Some might say "stupid and short sightet" could also apply to those who don't understand the consequences for the rest of the world should America's agricultural production severely decline.
