Climate change will exacerbate current biotic stresses on agricultural plants and animals. [6] Increases of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2), rising temperatures, and altered precipitation patterns will affect agricultural productivity. Increases in temperature coupled with more variable precipitation will reduce productivity of crops, and ...
Observed and projected disruptions in precipitation patterns due to climate change are likely to shorten growing seasons and affect crop yield in many parts of Africa. Furthermore, the agriculture sector in Africa is dominated by smallholder farmers with limited access to technology and the resources to adapt. [198]
In January 2021 scientists reported that reductions in air pollution due to worldwide COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020 were larger than previously estimated. It was concluded that, because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the climate during that year, a slight warming of Earth's climate during the year was seen instead of a slight cooling.
In 2021, 79% of US firms stated that the COVID-19 pandemic will have a long-term influence on requirements and priorities in investment. [ 78 ] [ 79 ] The supply of coins in the U.S. banking system was lowered to the point of rationing, due to many stores being closed, many coin-counting machines being unavailable, and fewer coins produced by ...
[122] [123] Climate change poses unprecedented challenges to U.S. agriculture due to the sensitivity of agricultural productivity and costs to changing climate conditions. [124] Rural communities dependent on agriculture are particularly vulnerable to climate change threats. [121]

The level of SARS-COV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) found in wastewater had fallen since this past summer, when nearly half of the United States have reported "very high" levels of COVID-19 ...
Precipitation, especially rain, has a dramatic effect on agriculture. All plants need at least some water to survive, therefore rain (being the most effective means of watering) is important to agriculture. While a regular rain pattern is usually vital to healthy plants, too much or too little rainfall can be harmful, even devastating to crops.
