Yep! See post 41 for another recipe...one of my favs.

[HiTech RedNeck]

yes... unless it is a particularly fiendish kind of warming that does not bother to warm up formerly cool/frozen areas.

and BEANS? that is one of the most robust things you can grow.

Note she says “than it would have been” as she knows global corn production has never been higher, and has more than doubled in the last 30 years.

If I remember correctly, we were all supposed to die a lingering painful death due to overpopulation - postulated from similar creatures - sometime in... 1980, I think??

From California .... climate victim ?

Yep.

The state cut off the Almond growers' water.

Entire orchards died. Hundreds of orchards.

Everyone was sooooprised sooooprised sooooprised!

I did not realize that Maple syrup was a crop.

That's what you get for being a sap

Climate change - there’s nothing it can’t do.

Actually the byproduct of ethanol production makes excellent cattle feed.

Or it would if it wasn't against the law to use "industrial waste" as cattle feed.

I wish I was kidding.

Look it up if you don't believe me.

More accurately, remove the “ligh” from her first name.

There's a nice debunking of Lobell's decreasing corn yields claims at http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/05/03/claim-u-s-corn-yields-are-increasingly-vulnerable-to-hot-dry-weather-data-corn-yield-trend-positive/.

Yes, there are droughts from time to time, just as there were in the 1930s (for example), just as there have been throughout all of history. But connecting that with human-caused "climate change" is a non-scientific non-starter.

[oblomov]

The assertion is that 2012, 2013, and 2014 drought conditions are due to "climate change". This is questionable at best when once considers the historical variation.

Ethanol subsidizes cheap protein.

It would if it wasn't illegal to use the nutrient rich depleted mash as animal feed.

How does ‘Miss’ Greenaway know that I haven’t ALREADY cornered the coffee and chocolate markets?

Whoa if TSHTF , you will likely get a visitor who has been swimming a loooong time to find you....

Stop bigotry against sprouts!

"Twilight Greenaway"? Good God. By the way, she's catching some serious hooting in the Comments section...in The Guardian, no less.

[oblomov]

The doomsayers haven’t been all wrong. Remember when we ran out of copper in 1997 and lead in 2002, just like they predicted?

[trisham]

LOL! I’m with you!
