Under "business as usual" top scientists predict 40% crop loss by 2100. Some regions already damaged. California and Canada next? Speaker 1 - Dr. Geoffrey Heal, Columbia U at LSE "Controversies in the Economics of Climate Change". Speaker 2 - Author/food activist Wayne Roberts "Food and Climate Change". Should we expect mass starvation & sky high food prices? Also, is U.S. Waxman Markey legislation a sell out?

Startling look at how crops fail under excess heat, and drying up of many water sources. e.g. Calif rivers may flow in winter, not summer. Most food crops stop growing, and start dying, at 32 degrees C. or 90 degrees F.
Surprising candor from top Columbia U expert Heal to LSE economists - scary stuff. Then Wayne Roberts explains how a handful of big agribusiness corporations control world food.
