There's plenty of stuff happening that you personally can't predict that might kill you; you're still more likely to die in a car accident than you are in a famine, even with the new risks posed by climate change.
The cold truth of it is there already are famines - East Africa is dealing with simultaneous droughts and locust outbreaks and has been either severely food insecure or in famine since 2020. There will be more famines in the future, and they'll largely impact the already poor areas of the global south who can't afford to easily import food. There'll be production failures in the North as well, but we could take a 50% hit to our food production and still have enough to feed everyone - that's how much we waste. Prices will likely go up, yields will go down, quality will be lower, but we in the North will have enough food for a long time. If it makes you feel better.
Yes we absolutely should be doing more but I imagine those of us who have figured out what to do are out having an and not posting about it on Hexbear.
