"Global food chains" have lots of strategic depth. When you see a crisis somewhere affecting those and causing famine, that's usually for the regulation time, not until the crisis itself is resolved, and scaled accordingly, not on the scale of the crisis itself.

Most of the agriculture on our planet works inefficiently. Such an event, if we accept your scale, would just ultimately destroy the producers who do that in favor of those with modern effective means like intensive gardens etc, like many in Israel or Netherlands.

Now, this surely is going to give power to people we maybe don't want to have it. But this doesn't mean 6 bln people dying.

EDIT: Forgot to say - climate change is not something which would happen in an instant, so it's going to be regulated more efficiently than, say, crises caused by wars and revolutions.

Literally every single piece of climate research is predict global food chain collapse. The most recent calls are saying that we will hit tipping points that guarantee this in the next five years.

You are completely out of touch with what is actually being said by the people screaming that we are on the way off the cliff. They are warning that shit is happening much faster than originally predicted, and they were already originally predicting that the food supply collapse would happen by 2040 years ago. This is happening sooner than you realise. Oh and guess what?

Food collapse isn't something that happens slowly either mate. Everything in our system is interlinked, when part of the chain breaks we will get complete global chaos. Worse though, when things get real bad there will be no more ability for anyone to cooperate internationally. Once chaos begins it will be impossible to both bring down carbon and maintain order with nations of people rioting and dying from famine.

There is an extreme sense of urgency that some of you are just absolutely not getting at all about this.
