What foods will not face shortage from global warming or will not face shortage soon?

Question

...if considering global warming were REAL...

Answer 1

Rice, wheat, maize and sorghum are all threatened by climatic shifts.  From the first link provided in the sources: "Research published two years ago shows rice yields are declining by 10% for every degree Celsius increase in night-time temperature."

As for crops that won't be facing shortages, root vegetables like potatoes are now able to grow in places like Greenland as the permafrost recedes.  Grapes will also likely thrive in certain regions.  

It really all depends on the nature of the phenomenon - warmer temperatures in some areas result in a longer growing season, but in other areas dries out the soils too much.

Answer 2

margarine

Answer 3

Pop Tarts.

Answer 4

Any foods that are not dependent on extremely cold temperatures will remain viable, no matter what the temperature.

If global warming were real, there would be a longer growing season, available CO2 for plant growth would be plentiful, The sea would be less saline and purification of salt water would be easier, tropical crops would be able to thrive further from the equator, plants would grow bigger and more abundant producing bigger crops, if coastal cities flooded there would be more artificial reefs for marine life, gee, I don't see a downside here.

Answer 5

Wheat is susceptible to heat and drought.  Rice is susceptible to drought.  Potatoes are susceptible to blight, which may increase from global warming.  Corn hasn't done well in historic droughts.  We have a problem.

The World's Growing Food-Price Crisis - TIME

"Soaring prices of staples — which have risen about 75% since 2005, driven by growing demand, rising oil prices and the effects of global warming — have sparked riots in several countries, as people reel from sticker shock and governments scramble to feed their people."

Fresh records for price of wheat- BBC News

"Wheat prices have hit record levels as supplies dwindle, raising concerns about growing food inflation. Reports of a drought in Northern China, where most of the country's wheat is grown, also pushed prices higher. Extreme weather has already damaged crops in other parts of the world and US wheat inventories are expected to fall to their lowest level for 60 years."
