Global warming is not a hoax, as some assert, but it will have benefits as well as costs, and people will adapt to it. It's not worth banning fossil fuels to deal with it.

There is no correct temperature for the earth. It is constantly changing. In the morning it is one temperature and changes during the day and throughout the year.

There are a lot of short season corn varieties now. That has way more to do with corn being grown in places it never was before than climate change.

Loads of corn research has taken place since 1950 to make it grow in places that it could not before.

It’s pretty much accepted by all that the climate is changing. It has always changed. The problem is their contention that any warming is anthropogenic and the result of our burning “fossil” fuels. All of their dire predictions that never happen and adjusted temperatures are just rationalizations requiring the end of capitalism, higher taxes and more government.

How long will it take for a moose or two to eat the average corn field?

Farming corn and moose/elk don’t go well together.

At current levels, 400ppm, the planet is almost at a CO2 minimum (180ppm). The planet is way off it’s historic CO2 maximum of 2,000 ppm. Man-man made CO2 might be saving the planet.

Global warming is a hoax or better yet a thing of the past perhaps 5,000 years ago. The Earth has been cooling since and is about to enter a very frigid period of a super grand solar minimum wit hall four ofthe sun’s magnetic lobes out of phase, while due to the natural perturbations of orbits, both the sun and the earth will be moving away from each other for most of the next 300 years.

Farmer plants modern short season GM corn, attracts mooses and elkes, farmer shoots mooses and elkes, farmer eats mooses and elkes. Short faced bear eats farmer ...

So you think we are no longer in the Quaternary (A geologic time period characterized by cyclic transcontinental glaciations.). Why do you think that?

Wait until these people find out that the temperature is natural variability, and not permanent. I doubt it would make the news though.

Deer eat the corn, but they don’t knock all of it down like moose/elk would.

Come to think of it, moose and fences don’t get along either.

The climate changes on a regular basis. It’s our lives that are so short we perceive the change when it happens as catastrophic or disruptive.

“Colder climate tolerant vorn has been a thing for awhile.”

Here in the cradle of the confederacy we cannot grow vorn, unfortunately the soil is vorn out.

Reminds me of the old song (Blue Moon) with a lead in that goes...”He-e-e-r we go again...!”

Forty five years ago Progressive Farmer magazine was saying that because of THE COMING ICE AGE crops grown in the North would now be grown in the South.
Then a few years back, the same magazine, which I subscribed to for fifty years, said just the opposite, because of “Global Warming”.

I dropped my subscription.
