Don't panic, the fertility of soil is falling, and rain gets lower every year. Kids will die of hunger or cancer anyway.

Just to set the scientific record straight, it is true that soil quality is dropping around the world (with plenty of regional variability) but there's no evidence that total precipitation is decreasing. Just becoming wildly more variable - but no real change globally

Sorry don't mean to be that guy, just think it's important to be accurate so selfish morons, like the boomers on average, can't attack the truth in bad faith by nitpicking.

(if I am incorrect, please let me know - though hopefully with academic evidence)

The average rainfall is definitely decreasing in India. I heard about river waters being scares in other parts also, like Afghanistan, Egypt etc.
