Effects of climate change on the consumer

Maybe not.

There is a lot of research being done on the minor increase in CO2 levels in atmospheric gases on food production, especially plant crops.

As we move forward with an every increasing population (yes, humans are in plaque proportions), one thing which will be under pressure will be providing foods for the increase population. It has been shown that the increases in atmosphere CO2 can increase plant biomass and also production rates. The impacts on the higher CO2 levels may in fact benefit the feeding of the increasing population if this occurs within existing food production areas.

Like any catastrophe (volcanoes, floods. fires etc), there a can be benefits which are not focused on as reporting on the the dire consequences of the catastrophe make better ‘news’.
