Record Agricultural Yields Should Allay Climate Fear
4 hours ago Guest Blogger 8 Comments

Countries all over the world are surpassing previous records for production of food crops. This is good news that stands in stark contrast to the apocalyptic picture that the media paints daily in reports on climate and weather.

Because food is fundamental to human survival, even a slight increase in its price can significantly affect millions – even billions – of people. “When food fails, everything fails,” said Geraldine Matchett, Co-Chair of the CEO Alliance on Food, Nature and Health.

So, it is not surprising that the purveyors of fear present climate change as the biggest threat to the world’s food security. Endlessly recycled articles and TV programs constantly peddle the misinformation that a supposedly dangerously warming Earth poses a risk to crops or is already destroying them.

However, in the real world, data show historically high crop production all over the globe. This is because climate change has aided in the proliferation of food crops, as well as other vegetation. Abundant harvests continue to affirm this. As in previous years, 2023 is expected to produce records for agricultural production in many countries.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Green terrorists never let facts get in the way of prophecies of gloom and doom. :nono:

Bad news ... Environ-whackos are now on a crusade/jihad against chemical fertilizers ... if the Greens get their way, crop yields will drop and humanity will starve ... for the children and the polar bears.

Yup.  All one need do is take a cursory look at the consequences Sri Lanka suffered:  https://reason.com/2022/09/07/when-sri-lanka-banned-synthetic-fertilizers-the-country-imploded/

They didn't starve, they were "peacefully" starved! :whistle:
