Scientists Raise Alarm Over Risk of 'Synchronized' Global Crop Failures

One step closer to the Interstellar timeline.

I worked in plant physiology for a while; my understanding is that a lot of our common crops, while adapted for hot climates, are already at their thermal tolerance limits. It'll just takes a bad series of extreme events to wipe out a crop, which are becoming increasingly common

If it hits now in full swing, it will mark limits to growth as too optimistic, and that ends with population collapse by the end of the decade.
