Contrary to what the alarmists are saying, the world’s breadbaskets aren’t going to turn into barren Mad Max hellscapes in the next decade.
In fact, if warming occurs, the US and Canada stand to net gain arable land and have increased growing seasons.
Of course the counter to that will always be “… but we’re going to have like SO much climate chaos!” which has become the perfect scary, vague and ultimately unprovable argument.
- omegaworks 3y agoWe're already seeing climate-related migration, loss and disaster. These things are quantifiable in dollars and lives. That certain regions are expected to "win" does not fully grasp the impact on our overall economic stability, the systems that keep necessities like food cheap and accessible.

"Climate chaos" is not hyperbole. 1. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/global-wheat-prices-jump-following-collapse-of-major-dam-in-southern-ukraine https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/global-wheat-prices-jump-...

Calling a flood, hurricane or even several years long drought a “climate related disaster” doesn’t count. These events have occurred since time immemorial. Every weather measurement deviation from average is not some “disaster” that can be blamed on evil corporations and people driving SUVs.
