Holy moly! The guy who predicted the 2008 collpase

[bradk]

...is now predicting world food panic based on solar cycle 24?

Wow, lets hope his economics are better than his understanding of solar phenomena...

From the article lead in: "One of the many shockwaves (low probability, high inpact) scenarios for which we should prepare — but not panic."

I don't see this article as a a Prediction of anything. Merely a speculation attempting to connect solar activity with climate with food production. Granted there are those who will (panic ), but that seems to be the popular reaction to speculation these days.

As for food issues, that is a regular occurance as we've seen in the past several thousand years, so it's a safe bet famines will continue into the foreseeable future for many reasons regardless of solar activity.

An old Chinese saying: "When there is food on the table, there are many problems. When there is no food on the table there is only one problem."
