And here's a 2019 NATURE paper by the same guy as in the video, Kai Kornhuber "Amplified Rossby waves enhance risk of concurrent #heatwaves in major #breadbasket
regions"
https://research.vu.nl/ws/files/121370030/Amplified_Rossby_waves_enhance_risk_of_concurrent_heatwaves_in_major_breadbasket_regions.pdf
which explains the risks for food production due to persistent wave patterns over important agricultural areas in the US, Eastern Europe and East Asia. The risk is increased due to #climatechange, obviously. But the paper looked at past affected global breadbaskets and quantifies the past #croploss due to "wave-5 or wave-7 events", as they call them.
