So a warming climate will diminish crop yields? I guess that’s why corn yields in Manitoba are currently so much higher than corn yields in Iowa….oh, wait….
And if carbon pollution worsens, the loss of calories across the same six staples — corn, wheat, rice, soybeans, sorghum and cassava — rises to nearly a quarter by century’s end, the researchers reported in Nature.
More generally, every additional degree Celsius of warming reduces the world’s ability to produce food from these crops by 120 calories per person per day, or nearly five percent of current daily consumption, they calculated.
Despite all data to the contrary.

If trends continue the climate of Saskatoon will soon be as sweltering and unlivable as….Regina.
Saskatoon becomes Regina? Oh, no! A common quote I’ve heard is global warming will give Winnipeg the climate of Minneapolis. How terrible would that be?
My grandfather and father never grew wheat in Northern Alberta because the growing season was too too short and unpredictable. My brothers, the next generation, grew two crops, wheat and Canola. Did the season get longer? Nope. The wheat season got shorter. Crop yields are most likely related to plant genetics, fertilizers and chemical sprays.
”… plant genetics, fertilizers and chemical sprays.” … OH MY!!
Ohhhhhhhhhh mommaaaaaaaaa … destroying the soil, and causing cancer! Our only hope is the UN’s Svalbard seed bank! You greedy profiteering MONSTER!! /sarc.
The Global Warmist LIE-mongers are desperate… crazy-eyed … spittled DESPERATE … to “prove” The Population Bomb’s prediction of mass starvation. Desperate!
They will attempt to prove it no matter what they have to do.
Even if they have to shut down food production on purpose.
Maybe I will lose a few pounds but with a deficit of 120 calories a day it’s gonna take a while.
For your information, there are 3600 calories in a pound of fat. You can do the math on your own.
” … it’s gonna take a while”
Ha! The story of my life.
300 ml of beer will give you 132 calories
Many of our crops originated in warm climates and were adapted for colder climates. I don’t think anyone is going to starve anytime soon.
So that’s why agricultural production in those hot southern states is so poor, that’s the reason we have to ship produce down to them in order for them to have enough to eat…oh wait…
Yes, all the oranges grown here in Wyoming are now shipped to Mexico.
You’re in WY?? Where should I move in WY??!! I was looking at Cody … but where else should I look? Don’t worry, despite my long hair and rock and roll … I’ll only turn your State a deeper shade of RED.
Oh … and uh, yeahhhh … Jackson Hole is far too expensive for this “rich” Californian.
Cody is nice. Their annual craft beer festival is coming up.

If all goes well, I plan on being there again.
220 brews for $45!! It’s worth the airline tickets.
When was the last time CTV presented actual news with no eco-commie propaganda? Actually, when did any of the legacy media?
It’s too bad there wasn’t an extended warm period when human civilization prospered which we could compare to, that would be relevant data.
(Roman warm period)
This is sarcasm.
Well, technically this is true. Climate change zealots are buying up generational farmland to park their solar panels where food used to be grown. Additionally, they are using eminent domain to parcel off generational farmland for “carbon capture schemes”.
So, yeah, “climate change” is effecting farm production.
Once again: https://cei.org/blog/wrong-again-50-years-of-failed-eco-pocalyptic-predictions/
58 years, now, of failed climate disaster predictions. Every prediction a failure. Every one. Why do people still listen to these guys? I know: It’s the TV. People get all their “knowledge” from the TV, and their memories are so short they never spot the failed lies. The TV can say two opposite things about the same subject a few months apart but the watchers never catch it.
And I think the politicians get their “information” off the TV, too. Their educational background does not equip them to find the truth and spot the falsehoods. Just look at them buying more wind turbines even though the ones we have are idle when we need the power the most.
You don’t have to be crazy to buy what they’re selling, but it helps.
OK, maybe you do have to be crazy.
Policy Based Evidence Manufacturing.
So much easier than using that “Scientific Method”.
“The Science” demands that these shall be the policies..adjust data to suit.
Gang Green and all of its enablers and gullible victims need to be banished from civil society.
Too stupid to be allowed to be running loose.
Too meddling,too idiotic, too dangerous to productive activities.
They preach and meddle in our lives,to our detriment.
Let them live what they preach.
Away from those of us who would rather not freeze in the dark and endure poverty admidst plenty.
They are the personification of Gangrene.
Carbon pollution
“with a deficit of 120 calories a day it’s gonna take a while.”
If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of me getting fatter.
Looking at a lot of the “retail experience” and other events of bodily harm on David’s Friday Ephemera there are quite a few that could benefit from 120 calories (x 10) less food intake.
