We 'might' be able to avoid it. If you have millions of refugees (billions) and food sources get wiped out, the survivors are going to be in for a shock.

I wouldn't give up hope just yet. There are some extreme things that could be done.

But it doesn't look good at this point. Population increases, easy & cheap access to coal, gasoline/diesel for cars & trucks, ice caps melting (and stablizing things currently, once they are gone who knows what happens next)... It doesn't look good.
