I think we have to remember that in the 70s climate science was in it's infancy...At the time we were releasing tons of CFCs into the atmosphere, burning leaded gasoline and polluting the atmosphere from many other sources, like smelters, steel plants and factories of all kinds, all of which have a cooling affect.
Certain foods could disappear thanks to our changing climate. Brace yourself: here are 10 foods you’ll probably be sad to see go:
sea food...
as much as you mention climate change you left out ocean-acidification it will cause all of the marie life to die out.
what could be the cause of that??
Oh wait you were talking foods grown on land.... well how about...

One third of the world's food-producing land has been lost in the past 40 years as a result of soil degradation, putting global food security at risk. Researchers from The University of Queensland have discovered how aluminium, a toxic result of soil acidification, acts to reduce plant growth.
When the agreement was signed in France who was front and center in practically every report? Al Gore.
Actually nothing was signed. Just a cabal of people making vague promises about reducing emissions with no enforcement action or sanctions. Not that anything signed would have been ratified by Congress. Biggest waste of time ever seen.
Even Hansen, the biggest climate agitator called it BS.
So, apparently the entire human race is too stupid to adapt to changing temperatures, or the changes will be so fast that humanity can not adapt in time to survive!
which is it?
IMO, if we are not intelligent enough to adapt to changing climate, we DESERVE to become extinct!
I'm not sure I want to live in a world without coffee, chocolate and peanut butter.
You left out bananas. Because of climate change, the Cavendish bananas are succumbing to a fungus, and the main variety of banana we all eat might become extinct in a year.

None of those foods ore going to completely disappear in the next few centuries except for certain forms of Seafood, which will be more of a result of over-fishing.
Climate change could definitely make some of those foods become exotics, due to making them extremely difficult to cultivate on a massive scale, but they're not going to disappear. It's already starting to happen with chocolate.
