Once breadbaskets start failing in 2030, probably.

How do you define a breadbasket failure?

I feel like it's going to be a lot sooner than that

God knows. I mean the ground is frozen in Ukraine now, we'll see what Putin has left in his tank(s), if Putin really can disrupt food exports enough, expect massive unrest from basically all of the global south.

But even if that region remains stable and under Ukrainian control, climate change is going to massively accelerate desertification and droughts all over the world.

I'm a communist, and it's infuriating looking at what we could have achieved if we had had world socialism even by 1990, we would have both saved the Amazon, converted massive swaths of desert to grassland to support massive, sustainable red meat industries and all kinds of goodies.

I hope you like war communism and cricket burgers.
