Fights over water rights are causing political conflicts and instability in such places as the Nile valley and the Indian subcontinent.
As population sizes rise those conflicts will get more intense according to a report by the National Intelligence Council
which advises the director of national intelligence for the United states about national security issues. And the latest population models predict that 11 billion people will live on Earth by 2100 according to a United nations report released last summer.
Even today water scarcity is a threat farmers routinely face. To provide for 11 billion people farmers will have to know how to manipulate plants'own systems for dealing with drought.
Behind the struggle to address global warming and climate change lies the increase in greenhouse gases in our atmosphere.

More recently anthrax has been used in bioterrorism attacks in both Japan and the United states. In 1993 a religious cult in Japan deployed anthrax against civilians in Tokyo

Consumer should look for kale with firm dark green or purple leaves. Kale can keep for up to five days in a zipped plastic bag in a refrigerator.
