Climate change to result in less nutritional food, report says

Climate change threatens to undermine not only how much food can be grown but also the quality of that food as altered weather patterns lead to a less desirable harvest, according to a new study.

Crops grown by many of the nation's farmers have a lower nutritional content than they once did, according to the report by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.

Research indicates that higher carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have reduced the protein content in wheat.

My warm glowing bull plan is to:

• Let the plants grow from the excess carbon dioxide.
• Let the cows multiply on the plants.
• Eat steak every night and
• Drive cars that run on the methane in the air and never need refueling.

Not true.

Good grief. What a strange religion “climate change/global warming” is. Truly, truly it takes more faith to believe in it than simply believing God exists and gave his only Son...wow.

So, plants love CO2, and that said, more plants means more veggies, which means healthier food. Hmm. I’m to believe the opposite.

Others claim a bit of global warming would significantly increase global agricultural production.

Q: So who’s lying?
A: What’s the use of being a liberal if you can’t lie, cheat, and steal?

“Plants and animal breeds will need to be developed to better withstand climate stresses such as higher temperatures and weather variability,”

That sounds like a green house that people build to extend the growing season. [:-)
