Let me get this straight: Less food equals more food eaters? Is that the basic argument here?
I think they need to do a little more work before their computer model gets out of beta testing.

“Could” is not science or news.

“It really paints a picture that is a lot more dire,” Overwank said, calling it “vegetation chaos.” Overwank's pulling too hard on this.

Whenever I see the word “may” in an article, I interpret it as “may or may not”.
Same with “could” and “might”.

If it becomes a real problem and not merely a "could", start eating the insects.
Or use them as fodder for farm animals if eating insects is too gross.

Exactly. They expect readers to get distracted by the described event and gloss over the conditional possibility, assuming that “could” means closer to “somewhat likely” instead of “extremely unlikely”. After all, why write the article if there’s only a snowball’s chance in hell of it happening? Because they want you to believe it’s going to happen.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
In your opinion does it seem like there’s been an onslaught of climate change articles of late? Maybe just because it’s summertime?

If they can dream up problems, why can't I dream up solutions?

Hell is could get extra extra hot due to the remote possibility of man made Global Warming.

That’s the thing..they don’t really want solutions.
They want to 1) tax people even more 2) control people even more.
