Record tell us that glaciers are melting and ocean temperatures are increasing. But the most important impact of climate change is that temperature will majorly impact the food production by as much as 5 percent. Data was taken in four different studies that looked at how corn, wheat, soybean, and rice are affected by the different temperature change because those plants make up 2/3 of the caloric input of the worlds people. The studies show that on average the reduction of wheat would be 6%, rice by 3.2%, corn by 7.2%, and soybean by 3.1%. As you can tell global warming caused by climate change can impact the world in a huge way.
