Global Warming to Cause Food Shortages?
Timothy Birdnow
Funny; plants like both warmth and carbon dioxide, or so I thought. And they generally like more water, something that climate change was supposed to bring, or so the IPCC told us. In fact, greenhouses are often kept warm and pumped with co2, and irrigated. Yet, despite forty years of supposed climate change, we are producing more food than ever. But don't be confused by the facts...
U.N. Report Warns Climate Change could Lead to Food Shortages.
Guess we're going to have to force the population to eat less - and breed less. Except for our elite masters, of course, who are too important.
Malthus was wrong, and Ehrlich was wrong. Ehrlich predicted starvation by the year 2000 and civilizational collapse. It didn't happen, because they assumed there was only one pie that would have to be cut thinner and thinner. Instead we baked more pies. We had the Green Revolution, innovations in water management, etc. The Malthusian idea we're going to starve because things don't remain exactly the same is beyond idiotic.

It's almost funny, how the Warmiacs assume that nothing will change except the temperature. By that, I mean that food-growing techniques won't improve along with the food-growing environment -- which they refuse to recognize.
Now, if it were Global Cooling we were facing -- and you remember they were touting THAT a few years ago -- we WOULD be in trouble. For one thing, a whole lot of primt forest land would have to be cleared for growing of more food in temperate and tropical areas, because the growing season would shorten in colder areas.
None are so blind as those who will not see.

Yes, it is the same static view of things so often employed by the Left. Like, we have to "pay for a tax cut" because we'll be taking in less money! It never dawns on these people that the cut spurs economic growth and we end up taking in MORE money.
One commenter on that post was complaining that volatile weather would make it harder to grow food. I pointed out that we build dams and levees and irrigation canals and the like precisely for that very purpose; it's nothing new. The weather is always a pain to most farmers. You have to roll with it, not take your ball and go home.
