I respect the Duran and they respect Jacob Dreizin. He predicted a year of famine in 2022 back in Nov 2021 and updated Dec 2021. Why? Green energy policies, less nat gas for fertilizers. Sanctions on Belarus. etc. Who to blame? Now in May 2022 we will blame Putin of course.

UPDATE : December 3, 2021
My specific focus is on food prices and food shortages. Price charts for all types of agricultural fertilizer sold in the USA are still on a vertical up-slope, well past their previous all-time highs. As of now, predictions of doom and distress from fertilizer supply guys are being carried in farm publications here in the USA and in Canada.
It is now clear that there will not be enough fertilizer available for 2022 spring planting not only in developing countries such as India, but also here at home.

2nd UPDATE : December 15, 2021
The European energy picture is degrading at an accelerating rate. From Finland to France and almost all points in between, wind power generation is still (same as all year) off by about one-third relative to what is “normally” expected. For countries like Germany and Denmark that rely on wind for about a quarter (or in Denmark’s case, closer to 40 percent) of their electrical generation, this is a massive hit that requires burning more coal and natural gas to compensate—but the gas is just not quite there. Or rather, it soon won’t be.
The great system of underground gas reservoirs that was set up with Gazprom’s help about 10-11 years ago, has gone from 68 percent to 60 percent full (the latter figure being more consistent with mid-January in a normal year) in just the first two weeks of December, before winter has even properly started in most European countries.
And in the Ukraine, the winter gas storage top-up has been used up completely—they are back to where they were around late October. The Federal bureaucracy is only making things worse, in a form of national and global assisted suicide. On behalf of CF Industries Holdings, Inc., they have levied or are about to levy anti-dumping penalties on nitrogen-based fertilizer exporters in Russia, Morocco, and Trinidad. Russian exporters, in particular, who reportedly provide about 40 percent of our ammonium nitrate, may be required to put up a cash deposit of around nine percent on their shipments here.
