Hello! The causes of the current crisis include: - the energy situation in China, suffering coal shortages, leading to shortfalls in the production of fertilizer, and - hurricanes in Texas which shut down natural gas production, leading to shortages of ammonia and urea as inputs to fertilizer production, and - all sorts of COVID stuff impacting production in lots of ways, and - sanctions against Belarus, a major potash producer, and - yes, the energy situation in Europe, where the renewables had a few problems and weren't quite cutting it yet, such that gas is in short supply, while Russia is saber-rattling. It's a one-among-many thing. One possibly better form of this argument would be to suggest this threat to global food security is a representative of the situation which would occur if activists' stated goals were met, but in this case an argument that does not clearly state words to this effect is an argument that is undermined by the fact this is much more coincidence rather than design.
