Wasn´t global warming supposed to lead to greatly diminished harvests and global food scarcity? 


Well, tell this to Bill McKibben, Al Gore and the other scarmongers:


"Largest ever cereal harvest predicted this year"


The world is expected to harvest the largest ever crop of cereals in 2012-13 according to an estimate released by the UN affiliated Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) recently. It is estimated that this year's world cereal production will be a record 2371 million tonnes, marking a 1 percent, or 27 million tonnes increase over 2011. 

India is forecast to produce a bumper harvest of 234.4 million tonnes of cereals, up from last year's 232.3 million tonnes. Wheat production is expected to grow marginally from 86.9 million tonnes last year to 88.3 million tonnes this year and rice from 103.4 million tonnes to 105 million tonnes.

And just how much of this food will the loony left convert into fuels?

I bet it won’t be as big as the Swiss spaghetti harvest of 1957. (Saw a video about that once.)

Why are you promoting illegal alien cereal? You KNOW that Quisp is a snivelling globalist lefty obnoxious commie.He doesn't even have a nose.

Quake, on the other hand, is the real deal. (We'll just forget his Aussie cowboy period. We will REALLY forget Quangaroos! Nasty stuff.)

Impossible! Ethanol use and federal subsidies will lead inexorably to a catastrophic increase in the price of all grains THIS YEAR. /s

Thanks Ernest.

Thanks. I was thinking about next to the bacon and sausage plants but I’ll try the grits, instead!

80% of Iowa’s corn is grown north of Interstate 80, none to speak of irrigated. Heat stress there will reduce yields a bit, but it’s hardly a crisis.

The US might produce only 12+ billion bushels instead of 13+ billion bushels.

Given record world grain production, starvation isn’t just around the corner.

Here’s a link to what the Iowa farmers are saying. The farmers I know are struggling
