That claim is fear-based speculation, not serious science. Global food production has consistently increased, over the past century despite rising temperatures, thanks to advances in agricultural technology, crop breeding, irrigation, and precision farming. The Green Revolution fed billions, not because the climate was ideal, but because innovation outpaced risk. 1°C of warming doesn’t guarantee collapse, it creates regional shifts. Some areas may see yield stress; others may benefit from longer growing seasons and CO2 fertilization. Canada, Russia, and parts of the U.S. could actually become more productive in some crops. Crops are not static, farmers don’t plant 1950s corn anymore. They adapt, shift zones, and adopt drought-resistant or heat-tolerant varieties. Today’s hybrids can thrive in tougher conditions, and that trend is accelerating, not slowing down. The U.S. has immense adaptive capacity, world-class R&D, mechanization, capital, and infrastructure. Claiming it will helplessly lose "half" its food production is a gross oversimplification and underestimates American resilience. Alarmism distracts from real solutions, instead of investing in doom scenarios, we should focus on agricultural innovation, smarter water use, and resilient supply chains. That’s how we feed 10 billion, not by declaring defeat every time the thermometer moves.
