As worsening drought and extreme weather devastate crops, you may begin seeing global warming when you open your fridge.
According to David Lobell,deputy director of the Center on Food Security and the Environment at Stanford University, “The general story is that agriculture is sensitive. It’s not the end of the world; but it will be a big enough deal to be worth our concern.”
Lobell has already noticed the effect of climate change on some crops. For example, he says, yield data from corn and wheat production suggests that these two staples are already being negatively affected by the changing climate. Similarly, fruit and nuts are also showing the impact of climate change. Fruit trees require “chilling hours”, or time in cold, wintry environments, for optimum production.
Here’s a list of the foods to enjoy now – while they’re comparatively plentiful.
Corn (and the animals that eat it)
Coffee
Chocolate
Seafood
Maple syrup
Beans
Cherries
Wine grapes

Cut all grains and refined sugar out of your diet. You will lose weight and be healthy.
Seriously... Mammoth, Irish Elk, Giant Ground Sloth, Mastodon, Wooly Rhinoceros, Giant Beaver...
A whole lot of big game animals went away when things got warmer!!! And “we” used to love eating them!
Damn that global warming of 12-10,000 years ago!!!
As I recall, the upper Midwest (Corn Belt)experienced a spell of warmer growing seasons for several years in succession, during the 1950s, if I remember correctly, and higher crop yields were obtained. Perhaps some Iowa agronomist can substantiate this, or not.
California almonds were a victim of radicals. Irrigation was directed away from crops and into reservoirs to save a fish that was not endangered. Almond farmers cut down the trees and converted the land.
Hey!
With enough butter, salt and pepper, you can make sawdust taste good. (maybe a little grated cheese)
Coffee, chocolate, and wine. There will be no reason for me to live.
100% Pure, Undiluted, Bullshit.
Apples?
Hopefully her “global warming “ will at least get rid of Belch- burgers (McD ‘s)
So maybe we’ll have to guitar making bad gasoline out of corn.
And according to any salesman who works off of commission, he's selling a product I need to have.
Didn’t you know? Crop yields have never declined before, ever, in the history of agriculture.
I will just have to increase my diet in polar bear to make up for the loss ........
I’ve only got 1 Wooly Mammoth steak left in the freezer so I’m in a panic.
Guess I’ll just have to settle for a Giant Beaver.
i have yet to see anyone look good in a hemp dress.
I guess she didn’t want to talk about these stats...
“... With the existing market consensus that a record large 14 billion bushel (bb) plus U.S. corn crop will occur in 2014, U.S. feedgrain prices have declined steadily as grain buyers have little incentive to aggressively buy corn, leading to weaker U.S. corn prices....”

Still telling GW lies..
When I clicked on this, I thought I was going to see the following:
Beef, chicken, pork, turkey, fish, eggs, cheese and butter.
As much as honey is.
