Here we have a nice new infographic for you to gaze at, share around on your facebook accounts, and so on. (It is below.)

If the price or availability of major food types (“commodities”) goes south (up and down, respectively) here and there, adjustments can be made. But if climate change induced shortages happen in several places at once, what happens then?

Anyway, here’s the graphic from Climate Nexus:
