Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, announcing executive actions to combat climate change, said Wednesday that extreme weather was already harming farmers and livestock producers.
“The climate is changing and its going to have its impact,” Vilsack told reporters, saying,l “there are ramifications today.”
“If we are not proactive, we will find ourselves five, 10, 15 years down the road wishing we had done what we did today,” he added. […]
The agriculture secretary pointed to both extreme heat and wintery conditions as symptoms of climate change.
“Some of the livestock producers in the Dakotas, for example, couldn’t make it,” he said pointing to frigid Northern temperatures.
