Food prices to rise as climate hits crop yields, warns Gwynne Dyer
London based journalist Gwynne Dyer summarizes findings that every 0.5C rise in global temperature cuts crop yields by 3-5 percent, with 2C warming risking 12-20 percent global food loss and potential mass starvation if India faces 25 percent drop. He notes rising prices help some farmers now but raise long term risk.
