“food insecurity risks turning parts of Africa into permanent disaster areas”
If the rise turned Africa into 81% permanent disaster, that would still only be 1%.
Food prices doubling might have more to do with world governments melting the bearings out of their printing presses than the greenies’ favorite bogeyman.
They are telegraphing the next socialist propagated scam.
Prohibit farming, destroy crops, bring about famine, blame global warming.
Everyone’s must sacrifice! For the children! For the future!
Favorite words of Communists everywhere.
A 2 degree increase in average global temps would permit TWO growing seasons in vast parts of the Midwest.
What we’re probably going to see though is a 2 degree drop (due to a senescent sun). Millions will starve.
AGW is such BS!
I guess the idiot didn’t read the 1968 book that claimed we’d all be dead from starvation by now because the Earth couldn’t possibly support this many people. Morons never learn history.
Well, with the billions of people that would have died due to “the new ice age”, I’ll call it a wash.

The Economist is saying the warming temps are not happening.
It’s bogus!
Rhodesia can grow all the food Africa needs.
Does anyone keep track of these idiots’ predictions and hold them accountable?
Find out who those scientists are and then give them Zero credibility for the rest of their lives.
History shows that during periods of General warming there was more food- Not less. Droughts are caused by other factors and run in cycles of just a few years.
Then there is the problem that warming is not actually happening right now.
As far as the cost of Food. I believe it has already just about doubled since the current administration took office. And it is was caused by warming that is for sure. It was caused by bankers and government.
Actually, when the Chinese take over, they will teach the Africans how to plant GM food, use chemical fertilizers, and probably spray DDT to get rid of the tsetse fly so they can convert the savannah with all those animals beloved of National Geographic into farms which the National Geographic hates.
The high veldt in Africa could be a bread basket, but the Europeans discouraged the green revolution etc. The Chinese need the resources, so will develop them (and steal them) making locals rich.
The economic changes in Africa in the last ten years rarely hit the MSM, but things are changing for the better.
Headline properly translated: “Millions face starvation if a One World Government doesn’t tax the living crap out of everyone.”
Global Warming on Free Republic
I just hate these predictions!
Now I don’t know whether to invest in long foodstuff production, or in carbon credits.
Maybe I’ll just have to move some gold high into the mountains so the high water won’t gobble it up!
