The Mediterranean will be faced with extreme warming and climate change THIS decade.

The effects on agriculture in Morocco, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria will be devastating.
The extreme Mediterranean heat will cause even more extreme flooding even more extreme droughts and even more extreme wild fires than was seen in 2021-2024
2025-2029 will be MUCH worse

Great to hear a scientist and environmentalist - @elainemcgoff.bsky.social - and a farmer in nitrates derogation separately say the same thing here: that the government-led drive for maximum productivity was a MASSIVE mistake, with our rivers and (now, potentially) farmers paying the price.
I had the a welcome opportunity to move beyond the standard Punch & Judy media setup to properly look under the derogation hood, & explore why the Government measures are failing our waters & failing our farmers.

3) Donors make huge profit
