Global warming has already harmed the world's food production and has driven up food prices by as much as 20% over recent decades, new research has revealed.The drop in the productivity of crop plants around the world was not caused by changes in rainfall but was because higher temperatures can cause dehydration, prevent pollination and lead to slowed photosynthesis.
