I don't want to diminish the importance of climate change, but I'm pretty sure that in the next 8 decades population growth is going to present a massively bigger challenge to the logistics of food production than a ~1 degree C change in average temperatures. We're currently a tad shy of 7.8 billion human beings on the planet and UN projections[1] for the year 2100 range as high as nearly 16 billion with a median of about 11 billion.
