Because, like, youre too late, but maybe we can still save olives vanilla and rum.

In order: coffee, cacao, all fruits/grains
Then vegetables and plant forms washed in contaminated water because that's all there is. "The Sheep Look Up". Surprising how accurate that guy was.
C'mon man.
Just skimming the abstract is enough to tell you that this article doesn't say that. Why cite something you didn't actually read?
Because Americans and most first world humans are hyperinfantilized little treat goblins who cannot comprehend concepts like '30 seconds from now' and 'there isn't any, it's just gone now.' so thoroughly inundated with artificial authoritarian fictions that genuine natural consequences that cannot be overcome with a temper tantrum or USMC battalion are literally incomprehensible to them.
Dont tell thrm the truth. They will hear lies. Only by creative and instrumental communication can you even vaguely approach 'telling 5he truth' to these vile little treat goblins.
Ill admit, some scare tactics meant to mobilize peole to protect the environment, im ok with.
Shame tactics about personal recycling, or buying a new shirt once in awhile, fuck that. Educate on the dangers of basically unregulated corporations and billionaires.
Unrelated, so blasting some aeresol might help keep it cool, but that didnt help aforementioned crops? Thats what I got from a abstract skim.
That's not what that seems to say at all. It doesn't even look like it says "if we do nothing, we can't grow these crops anymore". It seems to be specifically about stratospheric aerosol injection (a specific geoengineering technique that we haven't even committed to trying as yet), and suggests that if you use it to keep global temperatures stable, there can still be changes in where these crops can grow because changes to things like rainfall and humidity. I've not read the entire thing but from a glance at it's conclusions, their simulations suggest that the crops would remain economically important to their growing regions under all their simulations, just with the viable amount that can be grown and the specific areas for doing it changed per region, and that using SAI to offset warming doesn't simply result in the same yields as not having the warming would have the way one might otherwise expect.
yeah it's not as severe as the meme says, but I think it's a tad more severe than you're making it sound 😅
Climate change is affecting growing conditions across the globe. Natural climate variability may exacerbate the impact of increasing temperature and shifting precipitation patterns, leading to large interannual variations in yields, potentially resulting in revenue loss.
large variations in yields for the average person effectively means it'll get way more expensive to buy, as farmers who can't afford a bad yield will go bankrupt when they have one and will have to sell thier farms, and others will switch to a more stable crop reducing supply...
Oh it wasnt my intention to make it sound like climate change doesnt negatively impact anything, but "these things get more expensive" is a very different thing than "these crops are going extinct and theres nothing that can be done about it" the way that headline seems to imply.
If it's too expensive for the average person to buy it might as well be extinct as far as they're concerned 😅
Thank you. We need to be aware of climate change, but crying wolf and false interpretation of the science isn't the way to get people on board.
C'mon lemmy, at least pretend to be better than reddit when it comes to zero effort memes...
That's not at all what the link claims, and isn't even close to the title of that study.
Was wondering if the meme had any basis then I read the article.
Oh cmon, mods shouldn't be spreading misinformation like this
Find the guy who genetically engineered algae to secrete THC and get him to repeat that for caffeine and theobromine.
Will it be the same, or will it be even worse quality than kitkats these days? 😔
