The #ClimateCrisis fueled #ExtremeWeather is compounded by #Trump’s #TradeWar & the admin targeting federal programs & staff, leaving #farmers reeling & resigned to needing another #bailout.

“There’s a lot of uncertainty around & I hate to be used as a bargaining chip. I am definitely worried,” said Travis Johnson, who lost >1k acres of cotton, sorghum & corn after a year’s rain fell in 48 hrs in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) in TX last month, turning parched fields into lakes.

‘Shock to the system’: #farmers hit by #Trump’s #tariffs & cuts say they need another #bailout

With #ExtremeWeather & Trump’s #TradeWar, US farmers are reeling & resigned to needing more cash help

Farmers across the #UnitedStates say they could face financial ruin – unless there is a huge #taxpayer funded bail out to compensate for losses generated by Trump’s sweeping cuts & chaotic tariffs.

"The only parts of Europe that aren’t being boiled dry are being washed away in floods. The EU must urgently update its climate targets to reflect the scientific reality, and put a stop to new fossil fuel projects as a first step to a full phase-out." – Thomas Gelin, climate campaigner at Greenpeace EU

And why would Trump care about lobsters?
