Friedberg Warns Super El Niño Could Trigger Food Crisis Affecting Billions Globally

What was said

"You could see energy prices spiking and electricity spiking and the grid failing in parts of the Southwest, commodity prices spiking all over the world. And then you would see places like India, the Philippines, Vietnam starting to face some sort of unrest if there isn't enough food supply."

David Friedberg presented forecasting data showing ocean temperatures will exceed anything in recent history, with 11 million terawatt-hours of excess energy stored in oceans—500 years worth of human energy consumption. He warned this El Niño event could cause crop failures in Brazil, Australia, and India, potentially creating calorie deficits for over 1.5 billion people dependent on monsoon agriculture and creating geopolitical unrest.
