We haven't even really had a extreme global weather event strong enough to destroy a large portion of the calories on the field before they're ready to harvest.

We haven't even really had a extreme global weather event strong enough to destroy a large portion of the calories on the field before they're ready to harvest. The PNW "heat dome" of a few days already killed some more sensitive agricultural plants. Things are going to get a lot more chaotic in the next few decades.
- snovv_crash 5y agoThe PNW heat dome was accompanied by cold weather in Europe. I've spoken to farmers who say that roughly 50% of their crops were destroyed by hail. Of course this is region-specific, but it's not just heat we need to worry about.
