    Oh phew. Here I was worrying over food shortages, severe weather events, basic exposure leading to death, and a migration crises on a level humanity has never seen. Good to know it’s mental illness.

      I think people are so disconnected from food production that they don’t understand how extreme weather events can dramatically impact crop growth. You can’t just air condition the soybean fields, and you can’t eat fossil fuels.

        A couple years back there was a chili sauce shortage because drought and extreme heat were affecting pepper crops. These plants literally evolved in hot climates and even they’re struggling.
