Media Fabricate Climate Crop Collapse As Yields Hit Record Highs
The media’s crop-collapse scare rests entirely on one dubious study and ignores decades of rising yields.

A number of mainstream media outlets carried stories claiming that climate change threatens crop yields and production, among them The Hill, Yahoo News, CNN, and The Guardian. [emphasis, links added]
That claim is refuted by everything we know from botany, agronomy, crop yield data, and the general greening of the Earth under the effects of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).
Each of the reports cites a single study as evidence.
Yet, its findings are flatly contradicted by decades of field, laboratory, and greenhouse data showing that crop yields have risen dramatically with the general warming of the Earth since the end of the Little Ice Age in the mid-19th century. They should continue to do so in the future.
In fact, world food production is at an all-time high.
