Sometimes I think I should type these posts in all CAPS to match the hysteria of the Cult Of Gore disciples
Even if we stopped spewing global warming gases today, the world would face a steady rise in food prices this century. But on our current emissions path, climate change becomes the “threat multiplier” that could double grain prices by 2050 and leave millions more children malnourished, global food experts reported Wednesday.
Beyond 2050, when climate scientists project temperatures might rise to as much as 6.4 degrees C (11.5 degrees F) over 20th century levels, the planet grows “gloomy” for agriculture, said senior research fellow Gerald Nelson of the International Food Policy Research Institute.
The specialists of the authoritative, Washington-based IFPRI said they fed 15 scenarios of population and income growth into supercomputer models of climate and found that “climate change worsens future human well-being, especially among the world’s poorest people.”
There is just so much incredibly insane through those first three paragraphs, I don’t have the energy or time to tear them all apart. So, let’s go with
- They can’t get a 10 day forecast correct (hell, I’ve seen the forecast for Raleigh for next week change 7 times in 36 hours), yet, they can know what the temp may be in 40 years? Mule fritters!
- You know what would really suck for food prices? Another little ice age, where the seasons are shorter and the growing areas are reduced. Not too mention that these same enviroweenies want to do away with most modern agricultural methods. Oh, and using food for frackin’ fuel.
- Supercomputers, eh? Garbage in, garbage out.
Unsurprisingly, this report was issued at the climate conference in exotic Cancun, as thousands descend to party.
Maybe, but have you tried mule fritters? Heard it tastes like chicken….
Since liberals want to lower the population of the Earth, I suggest Soylent Commie.
weather is much more chaotic than climate, thus more difficult to predict Climate is mathematically modeled as a boundary condition problem ( I hope no one was sleeping during that class in differential calculus) We don’t know what the temp is going to be like next Monday (weather) BUT we do know that the temps are going to be getting colder this month (climate) We have seen the Earth’s climate getting warmer for an extended time period, most scientists expect this trend to continue.
Israel those Kooky Jews !! sent a large delegation to Cancunhttp://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/Foreign+Relations/Israel+and+the+UN/Issues/Israel_Second_National%20Communication_Climate_Change_29-Nov-2010
Another ice age ??? Is that what you are expecting?
Ice age?!?! Maybe. Maybe not. But, we are also not expecting a global meltdown and global extinction of all life either.
Funny how all these Darwinists on the Left have an issue with letting animals evolve, eh?
didn’t the polar bears “evolve” from grizzlies during the last ice age? Meaning, grizzlies “evolved” from whatever during the previous warm period, right?
No, no, that was then, this is now. Nature can have absolutely 100% nothing to do with this warm period! Now, pull your wallet out and buy some carbon offsets!!!!!!!
