SA again

[(Anonymous)]

But you have a point, maybe. Maybe we could get close to something a little like that in a localized way if there were some kind of plague that hit cereals? Maybe?

Or both pollinator extinction and collapse of high-yield agriculture due to a failure to develop sustainable phosphate recycling (both of which are possible). Problem is, I see those as specific problems that have specific solutions. And McCarthy didn't want to talk about that, he wanted misery porn or something?

I just found the way it was described absurd-sounding.

In any case, I'd be yelling at the screen.

No no, his apocalypse in this case resulted in sudden collapse, and didn't give mankind the opportunity to adapt (at least not yet) or develop new technologies. It's possible that they will eventually, depending on how you read the ending. If you read the books it sounds more like meteor impact, nuclear winter, or a megalithic eruption - rapid climate change (cooling) and constantly overcast, which is killing off organisms dependent on photosynthesis. These are all plausible scenarios discussed widely by scientists, and this it more or less what would happen; all but the nuclear option have happened before and have resulted in mass extinctions among large fauna, like us.

So why would you be yelling at the screen?
