Les changements climatiques constituent une menace pour l'humanité mais personne n'en connait avec certitude les effets futurs ni la gravité. [...] Néanmoins, si la réponse aux questions quand, où et comment demeure incertaine, le tableau ébauché grâce à l'utilisation des modèles climatiques appelle toute notre attention. [...] Les bordures vers les pôles des régions agricoles de latitude moyenne, c'est-à-dire le nord du Canada, la Scandinavie, la Russie et le Japon dans l'hémisphère nord, et le sud du Chili et l'Argentine dans l'hémisphère sud, pourraient bénéficier de températures plus élevées.
