A lot of people didn't think that it would ever come to this.  Many simply assumed that conditions would return to "normal" eventually and that everything would work out just fine somehow.  But here in the middle of 2021, everything is definitely not fine.  In fact, cows are literally dropping dead from starvation in northern Mexico in very large numbers.  This isn't the sort of thing that is supposed to happen in North America.

For years, I have been warning that Dust Bowl conditions would return to the Southwest.  Just check my old books and my old articles.  Now it has happened, and everyone is in shock.

For years, I have also been warning that global food supplies would get tighter and tighter.  And even though they can see it happening, many out there are desperately hoping that I will be proven wrong somehow.

What we are witnessing south of the border right now should be a huge wake up call for all of us.  The following comes from an article that was originally published by the Los Angeles Times entitled "In drought-plagued northern Mexico, tens of thousands of cows are starving to death"…

In the parched hills of southern Sonora, Marco Antonio Gutierrez paced around a clearing, counting the dead.

There were seven rotting carcasses — jutting ribs and shriveled hides — and two sun-bleached skulls. Nine cows, felled by heat and hunger.

"There's nothing for them to eat," said Gutierrez, a wide-brimmed hat shading his downcast eyes.
