Major study finds world's most productive farming regions are especially vulnerable to rising temperatures, and face steep declines in agricultural output this century.
That would be no problem, if we would reduce the meat and dairy consumption drastically.
We could live with even less productivity, if vegetable based diet would be the norm.
I have a bad feeling that the temperature will continue to rise, and food production continues to decline. Even if we can survive the first few steps, the next ones will be even harder. Chances are, poor people will simply starve to death, while rich people will continue to enjoy their meat and chocolate.
No. Conflict over who gets the last of the meat and chocolate will do them in too. Why do you think Russia wants Ukraine so bad? Why is everyone gearing up militarily?

This is why.
Also, the water wars.
