Do you know how much food we produce on this planet? Mindboggling amounts, even though we waste so much of it: tobacco, alchohol, meat, biofuel, forestry, just binning perfectly good food that looks ugly, shitty practices in 3rd world countries and consumer waste. Look at what Britain did in WW2: that's in wartime and pre-GM too!
>increased weather eventsYet damage as % of GDP is static and lives lost fall? It's almost as if only poor people are heavily affected by natural disasters.
>food and water securityA meme. Developed countries can desalinate, they can import from Russia/Canada or make things happen. Undeveloped countries can't even cope right now. They'll continue failing into the future. Thankfully there are automatic stabilizers: Malthusianism and machine guns.
We do not need to worry about what won't even be happening in 2100 under the most pessimistic predictions and could even then be fixed by engineering. It is not important. Worry about economic growth now if you care about the world: it compounds far faster than climate change.
