The price of pasta and tomato sauce is going to go up.

California, the top tomato producer in the world, is in the midst of the worst dry spell in 1200 years.

Mike Montna, head of the California Tomato Growers Association, told the pub that they needed rain. It's difficult to grow a tomato crop.

Montna said that farmers are also dealing with high inflation. At a time when tomatoes are in short supply, higher fuel andfertilizer costs reduce profit margins.

Future Farmers

California isn't the only state experiencing the effects of climate change.

A study published in the journal Nature said global tomato production would decrease because of warming temperatures. It's just one example of how humans impact the environment.

Wild Life

We learned this week that strip mining in Kentucky made the deadly floods in Sudan worse, and that humans caused the ethanasia of a beloved, globe-trotting walrus.

There is a limited amount of time to stop or reverse the effects of climate change and no reasonable action can be taken too soon.

The officials want Russia to stop bombing near the largest nuclear plant in the world.
