    This is really interested and an impact of climate change I think should be emphasized more. One of my team members is an economist by training, a big factor of why I hired her was her master's thesis studying climate impacts on French wine. Long story short, doesn't look good.

    What an incredibly complicated thing to try to predict. The article doesn’t even bring the disappearing pollinators into the mix, it seems like that adds another order of magnitude to the complexity.

    Another shoutout to Paul Cockshott's 5 year old The Coming World Crisis.

    One of the first things discussed is this very issue, how cereal yields will likely drop given adjusting temperatures. He lays out several scenarios based off differing projection levels, and most of them are pretty bleak.

    He then goes on to discuss the geopolitical ramifications of this.
