World's most important crops hit by global warming effects By Steve Connor, Science Editor Published: 19 March 2007

Global warming over the past quarter century has led to a fall in the yield of some of the most important food crops in the world, according to one of the first scientific studies of how climate change has affected cereal crops. ************************************

Material conditions are where you find revolutionary potential. Global warming signals the breakdown of the capitalist system. Quite simply, the system cannot expand without killing its "market" and it cannot live without expanding. As this comes to be recognized by more and more workers, a need to replace capitalism (a system rooted in the ever expanding production of commodities by the producing class) will develop.
