Climate Change Affects
Climate change affects agriculture in many ways, both positively and negatively. Some of the effects are:- Changes in agricultural productivity: Climate change can make conditions better or worse for growing crops in different regions. For example, higher temperatures and carbon dioxide levels may increase some crop yields, but also reduce the nutritional quality of major cereals. On the other hand, droughts, floods, heat waves, and pests can damage crops and lower yields¹². - Changes in water availability: Climate change can alter the amount and timing of rainfall, snowmelt, and runoff, which affect the availability and quality of water for irrigation and other agricultural uses. Water scarcity can reduce crop production and increase the risk of conflicts over water resources¹³. - Changes in soil quality: Climate change can affect the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil, which are essential for plant growth and soil fertility. For example, heavy rainfall can cause soil erosion, which reduces the amount of organic matter and nutrients in the soil. Higher temperatures can also increase soil evaporation and salinization, which affect soil moisture and salinity¹⁴. - Changes in pest and disease pressure: Climate change can alter the distribution and abundance of pests and diseases that affect crops and livestock. For example, warmer temperatures can expand the range and activity of insects, fungi, bacteria, and viruses that can harm plants and animals. Some pests and diseases may also become more resistant to pesticides and drugs due to climate change¹⁵. - Changes in food security and livelihoods: Climate change can affect the availability, accessibility, utilization, and stability of food for millions of people who depend on agriculture for their food and income. Climate change can reduce crop yields, increase food prices, disrupt food supply chains, and increase the risk of hunger and malnutrition. Climate change can also affect the livelihoods of farmers, fishers, herders, and other agricultural workers by reducing their income, assets, and opportunities¹ . These effects vary depending on the location, type, and scale of agriculture, as well as the adaptive capacity of farmers and other stakeholders. Some regions may benefit from climate change, while others may suffer more losses. Some types of agriculture may be more resilient to climate change, while others may be more vulnerable. Some farmers may be able to cope with or adjust to climate change, while others may need more support or assistance. To reduce the negative impacts of climate change on agriculture and take advantage of the positive ones, farmers and other stakeholders need to adopt climate-smart agriculture practices that increase productivity, enhance resilience, and reduce emissions. These practices include improving soil management, water management, crop diversification, pest management, livestock management, agroforestry, conservation agriculture, organic farming, precision farming, and more¹ . These practices not only help farmers adapt to climate change but also contribute to mitigating it by reducing greenhouse gas emissions or enhancing carbon sequestration. If you want to learn more about how climate change affects agriculture and what you can do to help, you can visit [the EPA website](^1^) or [the World Bank website](^2^). You can also take action by supporting local farmers who practice climate-smart agriculture or by choosing foods that have a lower environmental impact. Together we can make a difference for our planet 🌎.

Extraction 2 . Content Warning.
Okay so extraction two is now out on Netflix and the Chris Hemsworth action film has a lot in it we need to talk about the film is one of the best one-shell action take scenes I've seen in a film and in it we follow the characters as they blast their way through a prison have an incredible car chase in the woods and then shoot it out on a train whilst enemies try and surround them it's balls to the wall and the ending also leaves things off with a lot of possibilities for the future throughout this video we're going to be breaking down what happens in it what could happen next time and also giving our thoughts on the film as a whole please hit the Thumbs Up Button if you enjoy the video and don't forget to subscribe for breakdowns like this every day without the way huge thank you for clicking this now let's get into extraction 2. so the first film ended with a tease that Tyler was alive in it we watched Shelby practicing holding his breath underwater and a blurry figure could be seen lurking directly at him that doesn't happen in this film we don't get it cleared up but with that being said eight months later they might bring it back around at some point however we do see how Tyler survived the events of the first film and that he was fixed up in hospital before getting given a new home Gary's approached by a mysterious man who we know from the cast lists called Alcott and he's played by none other than Idris Elba informing him that his ex-wife's sister needs rescuing from their gangster husband David Tyler sets out to save the family and take down the mob now the plot is pretty straightforward with this being more about the over-the-top action scenes that you can't take your eyes off I've always loved one shot takes and to see what could basically be three major set pieces combined into one really elevates this movie I think what works best about the scenes like this is that because we don't cut away we very much feel like we're part of the action too when is this Relentless you can almost feel yourself getting exhausted along with the characters and when it's over you even breathe a side relief yourself at least I I do anyway and if you're here without seeing the movie then I'd definitely recommend that you go and watch it to experience what I'm talking about and Tyler kills David at the prison and his brother ends up setting out on a vendetta against him Tyler also learns that his wife Mia was actually behind hiring him and the tour of course still torn up over the loss of their son Tyler regrets leaving the pair before he passed away and he's haunted by the idea that his son thinks he abandoned them in order to go and do work to Tyler his son some walking out the door which he thinks means that he left him to die however Mia later explains that what he actually saw was his dad going off to help people and his final thoughts of him would be that he was a brave man stuff like this really helps to recontextualize the character and this movie is sort of about saving the son of someone else this is seen in Sandra who ends up reaching out to his uncle zarab and Tyler sets out to help bring him back asandro gives up the location of the family and runs off with surab which causes things to culminate in an Austrian church with help from Nick Drake manages to kill zurab and he saves Sandro but they're not out of the woods yet though Caravan and her family are put into witness protection reik and Nick are put into prison but that's not where things end offered somewhat of a get out of jail free card rake and Nick attempted with jobs working for Naughty [ __ ] 11. now who this could be we don't know but this does at least let us know we're getting more from the extraction Universe I can't see them bringing in a big name actor for it and to be honest I didn't even expect Idris to show up in this the Russo Brothers of course have a lot of pull in Hollywood these days and in case you don't know the movies are based off the graphic novels you'd add prob definitely pronouncing that wrong key you dad I don't know I'm sorry because I am a [ __ ] but this graphic novel was written by the Russo Brothers along with Andre Park build in geography as well just point that out now the film's sort of loosely pulled from it and in case you don't know it followed Tyler as he attempted to save the daughter of an imprisoned mobster named Eva roach held hostage in Paraguay he had to break her out of the city and this played out much like the events of the first film that changed Eva to Obi and then the prison scene sort of came across here with either them being adapted into Mia's sister Tyler and that was also American but Chris gets to play Australian which you know what it's nice to see him actually doing it for once now the graphic novel doesn't really tell us where things are going to go in the the future but I would love to see Eva herself become a character in the third film who kind of bring things full circle and be a great way to close out this Trilogy by going back to Idris he of course featured in the MCU and he starred alongside Chris in the Thor films the Russo Brothers directed Infinity War and the opening of that had Thor and heindel's final farewell with both Chris and Idris because of this and I might be reaching but I'd love to see the gnarly dude their reference being played by Tom Hiddleston now Idris of course is from England and with Hiddleston being there too you can kind of imagine how the pair would get to know each other Hiddleston hiring Idris to then work with Chris would be such a cool little meta thing and we've seen our comic book movie stars have done stuff together on Netflix so yeah getting the russos involved there as well I think it would just work really well but obviously Reagan Nick don't know what they're getting themselves into now as were my thoughts on the movie I really enjoyed it and like I said that one shot thing was absolutely amazing but I did feel that the first half kind of bogged the movie down and I actually checked the time when they got to the bridge prison and that was about 30 minutes in the opening definitely could have been cut down as I feel the hot and slower scenes had started things off didn't add that much for me you can completely disagree but I think when you're making a movie that's meant to be an adrenaline rush it's best to start things off in a high and then get to the action as quickly as possible now saying that Hemsworth is really showing his capabilities here and the fact that he puts everything into his roles if you've seen his show on Disney plus then you'll know the guy could become the next Tom Cruise as he does a lot of death-defying stunts and over the top things man will like dangle over a 50-foot gorge in walkout on skyscrapers I'd love to see him bring more stuff like this to the movies now the side characters and family stuff does sort of bog down the film as I don't really feel like they get fully fleshed out and I didn't connect to them that much I would have even taken flashback scenes with Tyler and his son to flash out the pain he and me have felt but that's mainly just spoken about whereas they get the focus I think that in these types of movies the side characters aren't the important thing though as it's a main only the set pieces that you end up caring about however I don't really feel like there's many people here knocking out the park acting wise and thus the scenes with them or you can kind of take them or leave them it's the same for the plot in general as it is very predictable and by the Numbers however like I said where this movie really strives is during its action scenes a second to none and up there with theatrically released movies so I'm surprised they keep opting just to send these straight to streaming when you could definitely tout this as a big IMAX event if your marketed it properly so yeah I think you kind of know what you're coming into with these films and hey you know it sounds like I'm slagging them off but I'm not mad at them I promise actually movies in general can often be criticized for their plots but when you can see how much effort they put into the film it's hard to ding it for it so overall I I might not have sounded like it but I had a lot of fun with extraction too and was pretty grip when the movie was doing what it does best I don't think it's going to be winning any Oscars well it might too far action but as far as giving me an enjoyable two hours it definitely succeeded I'm also very excited to see where things go in the future with extraction 3 so it's done its job of getting me more invested in this franchise in the end extraction 2 was great and it scores a six for the plot but a nine for the action so averaging that out I think it's about a 7.5 out of 10 but depending on what sort of movie you're into this is gonna either improve it or reduce the score in your eyes anyway
