The war in Iran could cause a global food crisis due to reduced fertilizer supply, the Financial Times reports, citing experts.
The shortage of fertilizers could seriously affect food production on several continents. The cause is disruptions in the supply of urea, the most widely used nitrogen fertilizer in the world.
According to the analytics company Kpler, nearly half of the 2.1 million tons of urea have not reached the market. More than 1.1 million tons of fertilizers are currently stored in the Persian Gulf amid the escalating conflict.
The situation is further complicated by rising natural gas prices, which is used to produce nitrogen fertilizers from ammonia. Since the outbreak of the war in the Middle East, natural gas prices have sharply increased, forcing some factories in Asia to suspend production.

According to the video above, we will see the big change at the grocery stores in September as the supply chain breaks. It will take awhile to get the full impact. I feel like we will see plenty of shortages and price increases up until then as well.

Firefly populations are experiencing a significant, widespread decline, with about 1 in 3 North American species considered at risk of extinction due to habitat loss, light pollution, and pesticide use. While not entirely vanishing globally, their diversity and numbers are decreasing rapidly.
Key Points on Firefly Declines: Threatened Species: In North America, 18 species are classified as threatened. The Bethany Beach firefly is a key example of a species at risk of extinction. Main Causes: Habitat destruction, urbanization, light pollution (which disrupts mating), and pesticides are the primary factors driving down their numbers. Regional Variation: While some areas are seeing a decline, some species in the Midwest and Northeast are still relatively common. Conservation Efforts: Protecting wetlands, reducing pesticide use, and minimizing artificial light at night can help conserve populations.
How to Help: Reduce Light Pollution: Turn off outdoor lights at night. Minimize Pesticides: Avoid chemical pesticides and lawn chemicals. Create Habitats: Let parts of your lawn "go wild" and leave leaf litter for them to hide and hunt
