"And I am not 100% certain that what we are seeing is climate change"

Wise.

However, what we are seeing is exactly what you would expect if it were to happen.

"if this is what climate change will mean going forward, we are in for a world of hurt."

In more ways than you have detailed. Yes, all of the things you point out are true. But think what they imply. Several countries has lousy harvests last year. Like Russia and Australia. Even when harvests set records, we have experienced inflation in food commodity prices. Now, what happens when there are massive crop failures?

The flooding along the Mississippi will impact just about everything but rice. The tornadoes won't help matters. Even if things calm down immediately, food is going to go up this year.

And there is no real reason to suspect that will happen.
