This is the real scenario, right here. Everyone is so focused on increased disaster occurrences that it feels like this is invisible - until its not. Last summer Alberta was under drought conditions, and overall crop yields were 67% of the 5-yr average.

Less and less snowpack means less and less water to deal with worse and worse drought conditions.

Not to mention increased wildfire risk.

Also there’s a lot of political pressure disrupting farming too. Food could be a big problem this year.
