I skimmed the piece. Despite the repeated claims, no evidence is given for agricultural failure on any timeline.
The very first sentence says:
> Climate change will cause agricultural failure and subsequent collapse of hyperfragile modern civilization, likely within 10–15 years.
No evidence is provided for this. The closest thing is some very brief discussion of saltwater increasingly interfering with rice cultivation in some areas of Southeast Asia. Everything else is ungrounded speculation.
And regarding those poor rice farmers, apparently a lot of them are switching to more lucrative shrimp farming when salinity is high: https://www.voanews.com/a/rising-salinity-threatens-rice-crops-on-southeast-asia-s-sinking-coast-/6729518.html https://www.voanews.com/a/rising-salinity-threatens-rice-cro...
This is not to say that climate change is great. Just that this is not a reliable source.
- defrost 1y agoAgriculture will shift .. which is different to fail. Eg: Long established wine grapes in both France and mainland Australia have seen production falls already as local climates change in response to global parameters. Brown Brothers (IIRC, an Australian wine label) has opened new vineyards further south (closer to the south pole) in Tasmania. Another expected change is Cowboy Siberia; rodeo's, rodeo clowns, and vast cattle ranches on former tundra taking up the slack from US ranches as they bake and suffer from probable water issues.
- SlowTao 1y agoI was not aware of Brown brothers new site, their site in Milwara is the definition of cozy. Next time I am in Tassie will have to check it out. Due to the climate shifts, 'New Zealand wine' is becoming a swear word within the wine industry here as they significantly out do our quality.
