    yeah it’s not as severe as the meme says, but I think it’s a tad more severe than you’re making it sound 😅

    Climate change is affecting growing conditions across the globe. Natural climate variability may exacerbate the impact of increasing temperature and shifting precipitation patterns, leading to large interannual variations in yields, potentially resulting in revenue loss.

    large variations in yields for the average person effectively means it’ll get way more expensive to buy, as farmers who can’t afford a bad yield will go bankrupt when they have one and will have to sell thier farms, and others will switch to a more stable crop reducing supply…

      Oh it wasnt my intention to make it sound like climate change doesnt negatively impact anything, but “these things get more expensive” is a very different thing than “these crops are going extinct and theres nothing that can be done about it” the way that headline seems to imply.

        If it’s too expensive for the average person to buy it might as well be extinct as far as they’re concerned 😅
