Great, but what is the "Great Plains" and how is it affecting me?
The "Great Plains" is where a lot of your food comes from, and humans must eat food in order to survive
And the southern US is where a lot of our produce comes from in the winter BUT now that they are losing the consistency of the jet stream maintaining milder temperatures they are seeing crop failure due to hard freezes they otherwise wouldn’t even have to contemplate worrying about.
We do not even know whether @obinice@lemmy.world is from the US.
For those wanting to know, this Wikipedia article explains what area the name refers to.
Fair enough, I definitely need to work on not centering America in my view of the world, and a quick check of their comment history shows they're from the UK
In the United States, the Great Plains is the large stretch of land east of the Rockies, it contains parts of 10 states: Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming , Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico. It also extends up into Canada.
