Well, let’s keep track of this list, because:
1. Climate is NOT changing.
2. Harvests will reflect typical cycles.
3. IF there were any “warming” these crops are most likely to THRIVE, as frost and cooler weather tend to have a more negative impact on these crops.
4. This may be an attempt to assert “Man made Climate Change” impact, when the cooling sets in.

“Seafood”? Really? We’re about to lose seafood? What, are the oceans going to boil off? It’s good to know so I can snag some poached salmon on that Alaska glacier cruise...

Corn

Corn is a near tropical plant, first developed in southern Mexico. Now it is grown all the way north into southern Canada. Raising the temperature a fraction of a degree will only increase the land area available to farm corn.

Global corn production, in particular, has already been nearly 4% lower than it would have been if the climate were not warming.

The climate has not warmed in 18 years. And it is no coincidence that they rely on theoretical results. Because in reality, corn is having record crops worldwide this year. to the point that there isn't enough storage facilities that can handle the yield. The only crops damage that I have read about is from early snows.

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??

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

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.

Why couldn’t it be Brussels Sprouts?

The USDA Crop Production Report released Sept. 11 is projecting record U.S. production in 2014 for both corn and soybeans.

I thought climate change was masked and not showing up yet. How did it already cut yields?

If David Lobell were to actually do some honest work with his hands in agriculture, he might learn something. The article is sterile waste.

What natural, physical events might really affect agriculture:

* The magnetic field has been moving and even weakening in some areas. Unusual weather patterns may be a result.

* We’re still in an extended solar minimum and will continue to see some unusual temperature fluctuations, mostly toward cold.

* Unusually common immorality in a nation.

There will continue to be corn and wheat crops. With enough misinformation and mismanagement, the big shots might discontinue some of those crop efforts. That’s fine. Our agricultural base should be less centralized and more distributed anyway.

Refuse the propaganda from those who sponsor it in order to corner future markets.

Same idiot liberals said by 2000 we’d all be dead from starvation, that the planet couldn’t possibly support over 4 billion people.
