Average global crop yields for maize, or corn, may see a decrease of 24% by late century, with the declines becoming apparent by 2030, with high greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new NASA study. Wheat, in contrast, may see an uptick in crop yields by about 17%. The change in yields is due to the projected increases in temperature, shifts in rainfall patterns and elevated surface carbon dioxide concentrations due to human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, making it more difficult to grow maize in the tropics and expanding wheat’s growing range.

Well, Peru is relieved to hear about this one
wow
,😭👎👇
Another can-kicking garbage report full of ambiguity, contradictions, and lack of urgency, by an establishment institution populated with conservative executives remaining sycophantic to neoliberal capital, imperialism, and oligarchy.
Ok then I'm ready for death 🙂
Il est important de savoir à quel point les êtres humains sont entrain de massacrer notre planète sans penser à nos enfants et le futur, vraiment dramatique.
I love capitalism
Great, let's raise taxes!
I thought this was uploaded 9 years ago not nine hours ago. I thought we were in deep trouble for a second
Sadly, we're all gonna die anyways….. 💔☹
So I should invest in popcorn.
Why do people dislike this? Do you like Climate Change?
Es realmente increíble. Pensar que la ONU ha mencionado una catástrofe para 2050 y ahora nosotros somos quienes estamos descubriendo desde más y más cerca todos estos cambios.
More prayer meetings will fix this.
Now where have I heard this before….
Ustedes no pueden hablar de todos los planetas que ay o si no preguntenle a un artículo del infinito
Climate deniers in 3…2….1…..
Nasa: criminals spreading unfunded fear.
And our global leaders are just doing kitty parties…
Imagine going to a comment section under a NASA video and telling NASA they're wrong.
If you were about to do that: Think about what you're doing.
PLASTIC EVERYWHERE ☠
She sounds like she's gonna cry in a seconds.

74F in December 😬
It wouldn't have anything to do withthe US government paying farmers to destroy healthy crops would it?
Nah…
Not surprising. It's known that food production decreases 15% per °C of warming.
Al Gore said we would be under water years ago.

Annoying lisp.
How about some method to build inexpensive flood proof greenhouses underground with some type of solar tops? So they are protected from severe weather? Would it stay cooler also? Something like that could be used in space also. Maybe there is something like that.
Get china to ack first . Then maybe we’ll make any difference.
Good soundtrack.
iHola!
Look at crop yields already this year…
Have seen recent predictions of synchronized crop failures worldwide ☹️
Shared.
Very sad
❤❤
No agriculture, no society?
Few wildlands left, how many humans can be supported without agriculture?
Solution for this?
