Climate Change Could Devastate America’s Food Supply by 2100

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights a June study revealing that climate change poses a severe threat to U.S. agriculture. While global warming is often thought to devastate food systems abroad, the research warns that staple crops like corn and soybeans in America’s Midwest could face massive losses if temperatures rise by 3°C. McIntyre stresses that assumptions about domestic food security may be dangerously outdated.
