Thanks for sharing that. Interesting, but very depressing.

There are some points of what seems like black humor—or grasping to
see a silver lining—to me, like "Drier areas are likely to see
salinisation and desertification of agricultural land, with falling
crop yields and livestock productivity reducing food security.
_However, soybean yields are likely to increase in temperate zones._"
