From fast-tracking approvals to slashing a proposed emissions cap, the Carney government is working its way through requests from Canada’s fossil fuel industry
The 1.5 C marker. Its a VERY complex topic about why that marker is sort of the canary in the mine for agricultural failure, but it boils down to a few very important things that cant sustain past that rough marker; The mid Atlantic current that allows europe to be habitable north of spain, the plains of mid America will transition to arid rather than temperate, and sub saharan Africa will shift to being much, MUCH further south than it is now.
All these put together devastate our ability to grow crops. Unfortunately, I am mostly only familiar with affects on Western society. I am not hopeful that our eastern friends will have any more luck.
What marker is that?

Ok, my impression was that the 1.5 C target was somewhat arbitrary and meant to be an achievable goal to work together to slow global warming.
Edit: I will need to do some more reading
Can you recommend a good resource where one can read about this? I’m behind on this knowledge.
Here’s one to get you going
And here’s what I search to get more: predictions about the effects of 1.5 c warming on agriculture
Like i said above, it is very complex interactions. You will not get everything you need from that single published article
