Extreme weather, specifically droughts and heat waves are putting important crops such as wheat, maize and soybeans at risk. If such events continue to occur, there will be a noticeable increase of price on scarce crops and there will be food shortages for us as humans and animals. Many crop holders will be losing money from such weather and will have a difficult time keeping their farm afloat. Droughts are not the only weather that could affect crops however. Cold weathers and floods also account for a lot of crop loss. In general , crops are at an all time risk and those who grow crops should try to preserve as much crops as they can before it becomes more difficult to not only grow crops but sell crops. " In general, extremes will become stronger and the likelihood that extremes will occur simultaneously will also increase" Kornhuber said.
