This could probably (3) the North American corn belt, which produces much of the world’s grain, (4) to much higher food prices, and even less food for the Third World than they already have.

The earth’’s atmosphere is heating at a rate that could mean temperature rises of two degrees centigrade by the middle of the 21st century and five degrees centigrade by the year 2100, according to a report issued by the US government’’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
"Substantial increases in global warming may occur sooner than most of us would like to believe," the EPA said.
The agency said the first effects might be felt as early as 1990, because temperatures would be rising more than seven times faster each decade between now and the year 2100 than they had been for the past 100 years.
