“The world faces a “perpetual food crisis” because global warming will likely lead to massive and simultaneous crop failures in many regions, possibly as early as the period from 2040 to 2060, a new study says.”


I’d really like them to explain that one in detail. Is it the heat or the lack of moisture that will cause the catastrophic failures? Seems to me that if in fact we are warming then that alone will release more moisture in the atmosphere. Should the oceans rise, wouldn’t that also expose more area for water to evaporate, thus causing even more moisture to release? Around here more moisture and warmer weather equals record harvests!

I live in an area the catches about 16 inches of rain a year on average; most consider our area as desert. 5 years ago I caught 48 inches of rain on the ranch, some area’s had standing water for over 6 months. Had I know we would catch that much, I could have tripled the amount of cattle I run per section. Some cotton farmers were averaging over 2 bales per acre. Give me more of it please.

2040-2060? LOL, these asshats can’t call the weather correctly for next week much less 30-50 years.

The stink of desperation is rolling off these gloom and doomers as the evide3nce against their crackpot theories continues to mount.
