Climate Change Could Affect Global Agriculture Within 10 Years

The video discusses the impacts of global warming, highlighting NASA research that predicts declines in global crop yields, particularly for corn, due to high greenhouse gas emissions. It explains how shifting rainfall patterns, higher temperatures, and increased atmospheric carbon levels will affect crop growth. Using supercomputer models, researchers project that global corn yields could decrease by 24% by the end of the century, while wheat yields might increase by 17% but level off by 2050. The video emphasizes the need for understanding these changes to better prepare for future agricultural challenges.
