“We used observational data and output from 23 global climate models to show a high probability 
(>90%) that growing season temperatures in the tropics and subtropics by the end of the 21st 
century will exceed the most extreme seasonal temperatures recorded from 1900 to 2006. 

"In temperate regions, the hottest seasons on record will represent the future norm in many locations.
 
“Coping with the short-run challenge of food price volatility is daunting. But the longer-term 
challenge of avoiding a perpetual food crisis under conditions of global warming is far more 
serious. “
