"There was a time, a few thousand years ago, when there was no corn at all,"

Your point? If the point is that new cultivars could be developed, that is true. But we aren't doing that right now. If there is sufficient temp. shift before that happens, well...

"Who knows, it may bring about some positive changes we weren't counting on. "

Anything is possible I suppose. But it is a big gamble. Climate changes in the short term usually cause big disruptions.

I'd prefer not to gamble this way unless I had to.
