Ping!
The Lord controls the climate of the earth.

NEVAH!!
” To determine the impact of global warming on agriculture in these regions, the authors analyzed 20 climate change models...”
Garbage in, garbage out.
And THAT’S never happened before! Oh for the good ol’ days when the whole world was 70 degrees and temperate year around!
“Impoverished areas of Africa and Asia face severe crop losses from climate change in 20 years”
_____________________________________________________
However, impoverished areas in the north of Asia and south of Africa will experience longer growing seasons -due to global warming- and thus benefiting. But since this won’t scare you into supporting the eviro-scam that is “The Global Warming Movement”, we’re just gonna print the potential negatives.
It CAN’T be that incompentent or corrupt governments, ethnic cleansing and war have anything to do with lower crop yields!
Women, children and poorest hit hardest.
I have begun to wring my hands and weep, as demanded by the Council of Correctness.
I do want it to be known that because of the additional actions I am now required to take, that I will have less time to devote to asteroids that may hit the earth, or super volcano's that may wipe us out.
I ask forgiveness.
My computer models show the deserts will turn into a tropical rain forest.
Personally I think Sam Kinison had the right idea - Don't send them food, send them Uhauls. That way they can move to WHERE THE FOOD IS!!

excuse the double post...please
Curiously (or not), the biggest threat to third-world food supplies comes not from “glo-bull warming”, but from the left’s hysterical responses to the imagined threat. The surge to use my tax dollars to subsidize biofuels means that a very large percentage of farmland is being converted from growing food to growing ethanol. More unfarmed land is also being converted, with all the attendant environmental repercussions that that brings. The other thing these unhinged loony lefties haven’t considered is this “organic foods” foolishness. While they’re busy making themselves feel good about imaginary heath benefits, it takes more land to raise the same amount of food, since the yeilds are lower when you don’t use fertilizers or pesticides. That’s part of the (much) higher cost of the product. (The rest is an outrageous ripoff.) Result? More agricultural land eaten up by narcissistic Feelgod Foolishness. That equals more starvation for the most stressed people on the planet, i.e., poor people in third-world countries.
But it will be the Consevatives’ fault, just wait and see.
“Impoverished areas of Africa and Asia face severe crop losses from climate change in 20 years”
Correct headline:
Impoverished areas of Africa and Asia face severe crop losses from Marxist dictators and useful idiots at universities
Strong men dictators who take enormous bribes and graft rampant throughout third-world governments simply bleed the aid to the point of a trickle where it cannot benefit any of the intended recipients.
What these countries need is strong rule of law and property rights and let capitalism and entrepenaurialism take hold and all will be right.
The World Left doesn’t want to acknowledge this because Socialism cannot compete with the simple egalitarianism of the market place. That market place needs protection from brutal thugs and corrupt bureaucrats and then will make up for any deficits in any economy. If this was not so, Desert regions in the developed world would be Hell holes, too.
The UN is nothing more than a thug protection racket. The thugs want the Global Warming dollars from the guilty Liberal West, but could really care less for the plight of their own people.
The rulers of the various despotic countries of the World make up the majority of the UN's voting members. Until this changes, nothing will really help the poor overcome their poverty.
Zimbabwe - major tourist destination and food exporter until Comrade Mugabe ran the country and his people into the ground.
