May as well inquire about the Marbled murlette, which are skinnier that the owl and taste like fish because their veggies are in short supply and the ones they can find are too big to fit into their burrows.

My guess is that if corn production were displayed it would be way off that chart.

I don’t think it will make it past 500, but it is going to be fun anyway . . .

How many more people have to die? According to the scientists that espouse this crap, about 6.75 billion people ought to do it.
And no...I'm not making that up.

Is our climate changing? The succession of temperate summers and open winters through several years, culminating last winter in the almost total failure of the ice crop throughout the valley of the Hudson, makes the question pertinent. The older inhabitants tell us that the Winters are not as cold now as when they were young, and we have all observed a marked diminution of the average cold even in this last decade. - New York Times June 23, 1890

Yes. Sorry. While conducting driftnet tests years ago, we accidentally snagged one in a slop bucket as it was swimming by ... since the federal observer was sleeping at the time and we were low on food ... well you see ... that’s how it was.

Wow, look at that. Thanks. Fascinating that Italy and Spain have higher yields than the US. I would have thought we would take that in a walk.

Not only that, but since corn/maize originates in hotter drier climates, hybridization for more heat and longer growing season would be easy. Drought-tolerant hybrids are already available.

They’ll be growing grapes and oranges in the UK, like they did in the middle ages.

Only 1200?! That’s nothing. Mothers insist on killing more than twice that amount every single day of the year here in the US but we’re supposed to be concerned about the hypothetical 1200 annually? Shoot, the left would pray for those deaths if they were unborn children.
