Epic Drought

We know Russia had an historic drought last summer that ruined their wheat crop. Pakistan had an epic flood that ruined it's crop. Australia just had a "Biblical" flood and cyclone that ruined its crop. And Brazil had it's crop ruined first by drought and now by flood.

With all that happening, should it surprise us to read that China is experiencing an "epic drought".

SHANGHAI—A United Nations agency said this year's wheat crop is at risk in at least five Chinese provinces, echoing continuous warnings from China that its major northern wheat growing areas are facing an epic drought.

In a rare special early warning global alert, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization said north China's "ongoing drought is potentially a serious problem." The Rome-based FAO, which based its notice partly on a stream of warnings from Beijing about the wheat crop, said the provinces primarily affected include Shandong, Jiangsu, Henan, Hebei and Shanxi, which together represent about two-thirds of China's national wheat production.

For weeks, Beijing officials have underscored their concern about risks to the wheat crop, with the state-run Xinhua news agency reporting on Tuesday that the production base in Shandong province "is bracing for its worst drought in 200 years."

I wonder how many epic droughts and epic floods it takes to turn the world into a place filled with famine? If 2/3's of China's wheat production is destroyed....how will one billion Chinese feed themselves? The world is already at record lows of food stocks.

It certainly seems as if the world is being prepared for tribulation. Whether or not it turns out to be THE TRIBULATION....we will have to watch and wait.
