Reply to comment by Tearakan in Methane Emissions From Oil and Gas Wells Are Much Higher Than Thought, Study Shows by raulbloodwurth

5 years? No. 30-60 years is more likely. This is far faster than former IPCC forecasts.

We had serious harvest and planting issues across the globe this year......

And those will continue. However, there is no evidence that "large scale famine" is in the cards within 5 years. Saying there is merely discredits science.

If we have these disruptions every year that will pile up. It will cause mass famine when most of the world's bread basket regions can't produce food at the scale they normally do.

It is already causing food issues in poorer nations this year.

And we've seen a ton of new issues pop up that almost always have the "faster than expected" line in them.

Yes, but what evidence is there that this will lead to mass famine in five years?
