Rising temperatures caused by climate change may lead to reduced milk production among cows in the southern United States, a new study suggests.
University of Washington researchers analyzed climate and dairy industry data and concluded that the effects of climate change on milk production by Holstein cows through 2080 will vary across the United States due to major regional differences in humidity and swings between day and night temperatures.
The study concluded that "regions that are currently experiencing the greatest losses [in milk production] are also the most susceptible: They are projected to be impacted the most by climate change."
Study author Yoram Wanker summed up the findings this way: "Cows are happy in parts of Northern California and not in Florida."
The study was scheduled for presentation Thursday at the Conference on Climate Change at the University of Washington, in Seattle. The data and conclusions of research presented at meetings should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

So northern dairy farmers will reap the windfall.
Yes, their yield will go up.

Rising temperatures caused by a Presidential change may lead to increased job production among citizens in the southern United States, a new study suggests.
Michigan apples and cherries are a 90% loss this year (early bloom followed by cold) and peaches were a 95% loss.
On the other hand, I’ve heard that apples and cherries are doing great in the pacific northwest. Not sure how the southern peach crops are doing.
It makes good sense to grow diverse crops in as many places as possible.
Remember how “weather is not climate”...when it undermines “global warming”...but it is...when it supports it.
Funny how that works.
What hogwash!...or should I say cowwash!? It’s nothing but a continuation of the UN manipulation to gain control. At the bottom of the article it references WHO.
From the article:
“Using U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics, if you look at milk production in the Southeast versus the Northwest, it’s very different,” study co-author and postdoctoral researcher in the university’s Climate Impacts Group, Guillaume Mauger, said in the news release. “It’s reasonable to assume that some of that is due to the inhospitable environment for cows in the Southeast.”
The study was scheduled for presentation Thursday at the Conference on Climate Change at the University of Washington, in Seattle. The data and conclusions of research presented at meetings should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Hell ... that's 68 years from now. When the cows are THAT old it's a wonder that they'll be able to produce any milk at all !
Like way back in the ‘time machine’ when ‘they’ invented Daily Savings Time.
An old farmer was being interviewed and ‘they’ were trying to sell it to him (DST) and were telling him of all the good things he could do with the extra hour of sunlight in the evening.
He stood there, scratched, then spit and said “When is someone going to teach the animals they are supposed to wait an hour before being ‘serviced’ every day? - and if you should happen to be able to do it, they will have to be retrained to go back to their old ways in 6 months or so”.
Oldeconomybuyer, you found a trend here! Amazing that the climate changers are touting this in China as well!

They seem to be building us up/setting us up for something! How much fun! /sarc
I just got me some Ranier cherries here in WA. I luvs me some Ranier cherries.
Someone needs to make a list of all the ‘threats’ and hysteria dems had dumped on the rest of us about ‘global warming’... Everything from it causes asthma to most major cities will be under water etc... Put up or shut up guys... we’re getting tired of scare tactics.. endless scare tactics... endless, endless endless.
Most of the Michigan cherries are tart cherries for baking. Canned pie filling prices will go up but we’ll survive.
Sounds more like an excuse to raise the price of milk and milk products.
Does it really matter? I thought Southerners usually drank Coca-Cola with breakfast?
To quote my grandfather (who milked a lot of cows), “Some people don’t have the sense God gave a goose.”
