Impacts on Food Production
Rice, wheat, maize, and soybean provide two-thirds of human caloric intake. Two degrees Celsius of global mean surface temperature (GMST) warming would result in significant reductions in output from these crops. This is while the global population grows and continues to consume more per capita. Only we will determine how warm our Earth will become. There is still time to save humanity and the world that we know. But we must make choices and implement them quickly.
