Climate-Driven Extinctions Threaten Food Security — and Human Survival

Doug McIntyre, editor-in-chief of Climate Crisis, warns that global warming is driving the extinction of up to 10,000 species each year, a disaster that could ultimately impact human survival. He also highlights that severe flooding devastates global agriculture, while declining pollinator populations threaten crop production, worsening the food supply crisis. While McIntyre notes that human extinction may not occur imminently, he emphasizes that climate-induced species loss already affects the global economy, food security, and where people can sustainably live.
