This article presumably intentionally totally fails to address the fact that you could prevent this by stopping further climate change. It takes continued global warming as a foregone conclusion and is just like, "Welp, how can we deal with the impending hellscape the wealthy and powerful are creating?"

I disagree that we can in fact prevent the climate crisis at this point. It might've been possible if we started seriously working on this decades ago, but it's far too late now. The crisis is already happening, what we can do is mitigation and try to avoid the worst case scenarios, but anybody who thinks that it can be averted needs to start engaging with reality.
Most news articles try pulling the "bad things may happen soon but it's not too late" card, but bad things are already happening and are getting worse.
And the bad things are happening at an ever accelerating rate.
Those bad things were set in motion decades ago, too.

Agreed. The general trend of switching to natural gas has led to the release of a lot of methane, which is notorious for leaking during drilling, transport, and storage.
This is much worse than carbon dioxide and has been going on for decades. Methane will continue to rise within the atmosphere and cause further warming for decades even if we stopped releasing it today.
Indeed, and with the permafrost melting up north there's a huge release of methane already under way. We may have kicked off chain reactions that we have no hope of arresting.
Strawberries, saved you a click.
That is surprising enough for me to want to go read the article now. Strawberries grow very easily in a number of conditions. Once you get a plant going, it'll keep going like a weed.
Edit: Article says arise of 3°F would impact yields, but doesn't elaborate. Disappointing.
