Agriculture: It’s Worse Than We Thought, Again
We’re all going to have to give up breakfast, or something

A week ago, the compliant media was happily swallowing, and regurgitating, yet another “worse than we thought” study, this time on the topic of how future climate change was going to starve humanity.
“Worse than we thought” is, when you pop your ten-gallon sceptic’s hat on, a synonym for “exactly what we thought.” By which I mean, the news has to be terrible, and worse than the previous news, for it to get traction in today’s world of transient thought bubbles.
The study, “Impacts of climate change on global agriculture accounting for adaptation,” was published in the once-great magazine Nature, and is authored by Andrew Hultgren and a motley crew of divers others, too many to count at a blink (i.e. more than nine). One of the authors, Soloman Hsiang, was quoted in one story as saying the losses due to climate change were going to be equivalent to us all giving up breakfast, or words to that effect – though I can’t find that page any more, it is now buried in the others that I visited to read up on how the study was being reported.
