More fires, more droughts, more pests, etc.
fires - the wildfires are mostly a measure of human mismanagement of land than anything else. Normally, the fires happen pretty regularly in nature. Humans wanted to stop all fires, and so you end up with huge amount of fuel for huge fires. That is how you got in the US West from huge fires in the 1930s to a low average mid century to 2000, to huge fires now. https://forestpolicypub.com/2015/09/01/official-year-to-da…

Right now that's true. Look at food production this year across the globe, we're seeing dramatic output drops due to climate change (fire, floods, etc). Imagine 20 years of this.
What exactly are you saying that it's going worse this year? There might be regions where production dropped (e.g. Canada plains), but overall we are higher than last year and higher than the average.
e.g.
> USDA forecasts marketing year 2021/22 European Union (EU) corn production at 65.5 million metric tons (mmt), down 1.2 mmt or 2 percent from last month, but 2 percent above last year’s crop and 3 percent above the 5-year average.

Im by now convinced that xi jinping, in the back of his mind, hates the communist party and its apparatus, and wants to destroy it by going back to a north-korea style totalitarianism, against which the citizens will rebel en mass.
