      Hospital is less important if you starve. We’re dependent on Capitalistic farmers and grocery markets. The farmers are dependent on the seed industries for most mass produced crops with higher yields.

        Farmers are also dependant on soil quality, temperature, sunshine, equipment that largely relies on fuel, and distribution for the crops they grow.

        Not being an oracle myself, I’ll take an educated guess that when the temperature keeps climbing, the conditions that allow for outdoor food production will also change. Likely, the hardiness zones will shift to places with no farmland, and the current hardiness zones will be subject to flooding or drought or both.

        Might be tricky business if the best farmland is suddenly on the side of K2.
