Millions face starvation as world warms, say scientists

Ya. Just ask the Chinese under Mao and the Russians and others under Stalin. Hitler is further down the list of the worst of the worst. Communism is at the top.

Communism: the worst plague ever on humanity and the lefties are still in love with it.

Their memory is selective. Scary. Very scary.

The only thing wrong about Global Warming is that it ain't happening. Global warming would open huge new agricultural production in Canada, Northern China and Russia --- and the more CO₂, the better. It's atmospheric fertilizer: don't those so-called "experts" know that?

More warmth, more CO₂, good gracious, it would be Eden again.

But no, we get stuck with what's actually happening, global cooling. Bah. I'm going to go out and burn some charcoal. And feed some eggshells to my earthworms. Tagline.

So, let’s just assume that there’s going to be the huge warming in the next forty years, and then let’s project a whole lot of pain because of it.

First, in the past few months, many have acknowledged that global warming hasn’t occurred in over fifteen years. The models projecting warming and sea level rise in the future are wrong.

Second, doomsdayers refuse to take into account how people will change their behaviors if the climate does change.

[tsomer]

Odds at the outset are 50% the world’s warming.
Or, 50% it’s cooling.

Which would be worse for agriculture?

Tell them to call back when Greenland is green again.

2050? How much would my medicare be?

[Little Ray]

So, as growing seasons lengthen at the the higher latitudes, where most of the potential farm land is, millions face starvation.

Go figure.

[Iron Munro]

Of course their global warming predictions are nonsense but even so, their doom and gloom analysis of food production seems unrealistic.

They concentrate on factors that “could” reduce food output in areas currently in production.

Yet they seem to ignore the tremendous increase in food production their imaginary global warming would bring to places like Alaska, Canada, Siberia, Scandanavia, etc.

[Stepan12]

Sheer idiocy! So-called global warming would be good for mankind. Warmer seasons mean more grazing land for livestock and even warmer seasons mean more time for cereal stuff to grow. The medieval warming period (ignored by Mann; etc) was an explosion of creative activity where people built all of those beautiful cathedrals.

“Global Warming: a dangerous man-made phenomenon caused by the mixture of recycled Marxist ideas and junk science.”

"more land arable"

Millions of square miles of land in Siberia and Canada are currently unusable for agriculture because of cold weather. Warmer temps would obviously make these frigid lands worth tilling.

food experts gather to discuss how to feed the nine billion people expected in 2050

Let them eat cake.

read the comments at the link. Holy CRAP.

• "Climate change, rampant capitalism, over-consumption and over-population...a perfect storm."

Nope, no brainwashing going on in the EU.

[familyop]

They must be nuts. I saw colder than 10 below zero during the last few days (high altitude).

[Ellendra]

Staple foods will more than double in price by 2050 2020 from extreme temperatures, floods and droughts that will transform the way the world farms inflation, government interference, and bad economic policies.

Fixed it!

[Blood of Tyrants]

THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!

[Puppage]

Hey, we’re giving away food stamps....come on in

[bigheadfred]

bttt

[who knows what evil?]

Warming again? Let go of this bullsh*t, for pity’s sake...

[justa-hairyape]

Recommend that all liberals use all their nest egg money to buy up all the land they can in Antarctica and Siberia. Those will be the only places inhabitable because of Global Warning. Yes. Do it liberals. Put your money where your mouth is.
