A global crop failure catastrophe before 2029 looks extremely likely.

Severe droughts in large parts of Asia are set to impact regional and/or global food security by between 2022 - 2027, and continuously from then on.

Global food system alert: major risk of simultaneous breadbasket failures due to climatic extremes from now on.
'there has been a significant increase in the probability of multiple global breadbasket failures for particularly wheat, maize, and soybeans'phys.org/news/2019-12-c…

Newly identified jet-stream pattern set to imperil global food supplies:
🔺the threat to global food production will worsen with abrupt climate change⚠️
🔺 calamitous global warming of 1.5°C in just 5 or 10 years from now⚠️
🔺floods, extreme heat/cold⚠️

Food and water catastrophe is set to be sudden, not gradual:
'Yield responses to biophysical stresses are highly non-linear – once critical thresholds for temperature or water are breached, plants suffer severe damage and yields can fall precipitously.'

'Simultaneous harvest failures in key regions would bring global famine...'
Climate models & recent peer-reviewed ecosystem science (including the state of soils, groundwater, vanishing summer Arctic sea ice, etc) suggest this may well occur by 2029.

Within a few decades, the rate of climate change will be more rapid than anything scientists are aware of over the last 6,500 years.

Crop and livestock production may have to be abandoned in parts of Europe’s southern & Mediterranean regions:
'yields of non-irrigated crops like wheat, corn and sugar beet are projected to decrease in southern Europe by up to 50 %' in the next ~20 years.
