Among the top Google News search results today under “climate change” is a story in Environmental Health News (EHN) claims climate change will decimate global crop yields. However, real-world crop data show crop yields are dramatically rising, not declining, as the Earth modestly warms.

The EHN article, titled “Climate change will continue to widen gaps in food security, new study finds.” reports on a recent study in which researchers claim crop yields are declining. The study also claims “food insecurity” — hunger and malnutrition among the poorest peoples around the world — is getting worse. Using computer model projections of future temperatures, the researchers say farmers will find it difficult to maintain current yields of the “18 of the most farmed crops … that, all together, represent 70 percent of global crop area and around 65 percent of global caloric intake.”
