The rising global warming is a danger to all ecosystems, especially humans. Currently, human civilization as a whole depends on three main grain sources to complete half of their total calorie consumption.
These three grains are Paddy, Wheat and maize. Now according to Ellen Gray from Nasa’s Earth science team, two of these three crops are in danger now due to the rising global warming.
According to recent simulations conducted by NASA’s scientists on the effect of climate change on the production of these three main crops in the coming years, the production of maize (corn) and wheat might be affected adversely by 2030 under a high greenhouse gas emissions scenario.
