    Finally we come to what is most worrisome, fertilizer. The lack of such will cause famine-like conditions in entire swaths of the globe and if they don’t get out during the planting season, there is not a recovery possible — think mass starvation in a large number of densely populated regions.

    This is getting a lot worse before it gets better.
