    you can expect similar with crop yields and other weather thats powered by these extremes.

    this is what will deplete the global yearly carryover grain stocks when we get more clusters of back to back bad years

      If this turns out to be an extra-hot summer as the long term models are showing, and also droughty, then that will make 4 summers in a row (in my area, which is agrarian) of bad years. It will not take long to seriously damage food supplies at the rate this is going. I haven’t looked into what conditions have been like in the other breadbasket areas like the Ukraine/S. Russia, the Cone of South America, or the fertile parts of East/South Asia.
