This is funny. The same people who can’t figure out what the “climate” will be doing next week are now adding crop forecasting to their list of specialties ?
Bwahahahahahahahahah !
Someone tell me this is from scrappleface, please.

Impoverished Areas Of Africa And Asia Face Severe Crop Losses From Climate Change In 20 Years
Evolution in Your FaceLake Victoria, Africa's largest lake, is home to more than 300 species of cichlids. These fish, which are popular in aquariums, are deep-bodied and have one nostril, rather than the usual two, on each side of the head. Seismic profiles and cores of the lake taken by a team headed by Thomas C. Johnson of the University of Minnesota, reveal that the lake dried up completely about 12,400 years ago. This means that the rate of speciation of cichlid fishes has been extremely rapid: something on average of one new species every 40 years!

I’m guessing that the new ice age will freeze their land and it is hard to plow with a sharp stick?
The systematic slaughter of the white farmers throughout sub-Saharan Africa had nothing to do with the crop shortages, obviously.

two things
- many people will pick up and move on
- one area’s weather “loss” will be offset by other areas weather “gains” and what will adjust for those changes will be markets - creating profits in the gaining areas which will also add to investments in the additional distribution systems needed in the losing areas, creating jobs and adding to employment and incomes in both areas
That, too. I was thinking about that later this morning. Well put.

“What these countries need is strong rule of law and property rights and let capitalism and entrepenaurialism take hold and all will be right.”
A survey of citizens in South Africa’s shantytowns confirmed exactly that sentiment and wish back in 2003.
On target, sir.
Notice, nothing was said about global warming (that I could see). This is all about normal weather patterns, that the press just love to blow out of proportion. That’s the press’ job, or so they think. Report the bad news, and while you’re at it, really make it sound bad!
I have begun to wring my hands and weep, as demanded by the Council of Correctness....

Will do.
