1/5. Here's what CO2 emissions and #ClimateChange are actually doing to the world's food supply.

2/5. The relationship between food (in)security and CO2 emissions / climate change is that CO2 emissions greatly improve crop yields, improve crops' drought resilience, and improve food security everywhere in the world.

5/6. Rising CO2 levels are dramatically beneficial for crops, which is one of the major reasons that catastrophic famines are fading from living memory, for the first time in human history.

3/5. Thanks, in significant part, to rising CO2 levels, crop yield improvements have outpaced population growth.

14/ Crop yields have risen dramatically (though crackpot Dutch politicians seem determined to reverse that trend, by curtailing agriculture and restricting fertilizer use).

4/5. It's impossible to overstate the importance of that blessing. Compare:
โ Covid-19 killed โ0.1% of world population
โ The 1918 flu killed โ2%
โ WWII killed โ2.7%
โ The global drought & famine of 1876-78 killed about 3.7% of world the population

19/26ใElevated CO2 is also very beneficial for natural ecosystems. By improving crop yields eCO2 releases land from agriculture, for natural forests.
It also benefits wild plants directly. In fact, it's "greening" the Earth, especially in arid regions!

The worldโs food supply is in crisis. 
Could these solutions address the issues by changing what, when, and how we eat?
Context's @Albert Han takes us behind the scenes of our latest series, Rerooted.
