Read Marc Reisner's Cadillac Desert (1986). Most of the West coast of the US is fed by the Colorado river - which is in turn fed by the snow packs of the Rocky Mountains. Take away the snow packs, and the river runs dry.
Most of the Western world is supported by corn/wheat, which is grown at such yields thanks to the petroleum-driven pumping of the Ogallala aquifer. Water levels have dropped for over 40 years, as we draw out water for crops and then ship the crops elsewhere.
Decrease either rainfall or the supply of cheap petroleum / diesel, and what do you believe happens to our food supply?

Just remember - no government in the world has ever survived food riots. Not France in the 1700's. Not the Soviet Union in the 1990's. Syria might, if Russia keeps supplying air support in exchange for oil. But I doubt it.
