Recall that in some of the longer term predictive linguistic values we keep seeing references to food shortages/famine/death of 1-billion + in the next couple of years. From past experience, the farther ahead of time something appears in modelspace, the larger it turns out in real-time when it shows up in the here & now. Which is why I found the BBC article on the Irish Potato Famine and how a "Killer gene cause potato famine" to be so interesting.

Given the rotten growing conditions for some crops up in the Northeast this year, what if the mutation we should worry about isn't flu but instead is something like a plant disease?
This is not just an idle "Gee, what if...?" kind of question. It's a damn serious one right now and if you don't plan to be one of those 1.25-billion people due to die over the next couple of years (mainly from starvation) then pay attention to stories that aren't in the mainstream. Here's one in the Southeast Farm Press: "Are wheat varieties losing disease resistance?"
Not exactly an academic question, since you already know (or should) that wheat rust (UGG-99) is slowly working its way across the Eastern European steppes and recent research is lowering the yellow rust ratings of certain kinds of wheat. Not mainstream stuff:, but you'll find that story on the British Famer's Weekly Interactive site under the headline "Top varieties' yellow rust ratings crash."

To be sure, the shortage of honey bees hasn't killed us off - yet. Nor has the die-off of ladybugs. Ditto the "British Columbia bears during from salmon shortage."
No, it's not MainStream yet, but give it 9-months. Food's going to become a big deal. A really, really, really BIG deal. Meantime, back at the MSM...
