I agree. If we have another drought next year across the Western US, China, and Europe I bet the price shocks will hit rich and poor alike as food will become quite scarce.
Coupled with trying to manage surviving the yearly 100 year storms and sea level rise… we’re in for quite a challenge managing to mitigate the climate crisis with feeding ourselves and protecting people from the increase in devastating disasters.
If the way we responded socially and politically to the pandemic is any indication of how we’ll manage this looming monster I suspect it’s going to get really bad.
It doesn’t matter how rich you are. If disaster after disaster year after year wipes out the food production you can’t eat money.
