Yeah. It could trigger a tipping point which destroys agriculture to the point that civilization and the human species in its role as a global presence in the world completely dies off. It’s not even some crazy unlikely outcome.

I don’t think that is the guaranteed outcome, but at the same time, 40% off the global economy is a wildly rose-colored optimistic view of how it’s going to play out. It’s probably going to be much worse.
