Using Models, ‘Tasting Table’ Claims Climate Change Hurting Popular Foods

chocolate barThe online foodie website, Tasting Table, ran a hyperbolic story claiming climate change threatens the continued ability to produce many popular foods.

This is false.

Crops in general, including the foods discussed in Tasting Table, are doing well during the present period of modest warming. [bold, links added]

As agronomy and botany explain, rising carbon dioxide levels and more favorable growing conditions are boosting crop production and should continue to do so in the future.
