While most here are probably not wrong about changes that could well happen and our societies adapting to them, I can't help but worry about food shortages.

We aren't very far away from the point where insect populations start to collapse. If we can't reverse that or even slow it down, food will follow quite quickly.

The implications are horrifying and even if humanity survives, it won't be pretty.

If by about 2035 the causes aren't controlled and the problems slowed down enough to prevent insect extinction, the following 10 - 20 years will see food decrease to levels that won't sustain us.

After that, the decline will be so rapid and so brutal that no one will be making notes.

I hope that doesn't happen.
