re: #306 Talking Point Detective

It’s possible, but my best guess is that there might be devastating impact regionally in some areas, but not likely globally

This looks pretty global to me! Reminder - the areas in red and orange will not support food crop photosynthesis.

and not likely in a country with as many resources as the U.S. For example, conflict that might arise from food shortages could significantly impact populations in 3rd world countries - but not in the U.S. with so much and such highly concentrated military power.

Industrial agriculture depends on a relatively stable climate, irrigation, and cheap fossil-fuel-based fertilizer. What’s going to happen when one, two, or all three of these things fail?
