That source does explicitly say that, Ace.

Unless you can find a way that the food shortage— and that’s not even counting the ocean food shortage— will be made up.

And remember, limited resources.


speaking of not reading the paper…did you miss this paragraph

There are, of course, many other possible adaptations that this study cannot address. The simplest form of adaptation would be
to change the locations or seasons where and when crops are
grown.† Understanding the scope for this kind of change would
require more careful analysis of potential yield effects on a global
scale. Furthermore, if climate change were anticipated to induce
severe yield impacts on a global scale, then anticipated increases
in commodity prices would likely encourage greater investments
in new seed varieties, irrigation systems, and other technological
changes. Thus, although historical data show the same heat
tolerance in the first and second half of our sample, greater heat
tolerance still may be possible if greater returns for such
innovation arise. Recently, a National Science Foundationfunded
study completed a draft sequence of the corn genome,
which might make it easier to develop new corn varieties with
greater heat tolerance.
