I remember in 2010, corporate propagandists were telling us that the effects of climate change won't be felt for a 100 years.

There's an outdated statement: 50% of the fossil fuel civilization has burned, we burned after 1992. Outdated, so that percentage is probably a lot higher now.

Famine is going to be a really, really bad way to die.

Don't worry.

The last to starve will be the first to suffocate.

The only alway to avoid would be to listen to scientists …and the masses really don’t like doing that apparently. Feelings get hurt.

CO2 and global warming makes the world more arable, not less. So famine wont be an issue, some parts of the world might be but not Europe.

More available land won't protect from crop failure due to temperature, droughts etc.

Can you provide a credible source for your incredible claim?

The world is greener now than in the 1980s according to NASA:

Now does that translate to better crops? I don't know, but humans will do whatever it takes to adapt, so we really need to stop with the climate scaremongering.
