Maize, rice, wheat: alarm at rising climate risk to vital crops
Governments may be seriously underestimating the risks of crop disasters occurring in major farming regions around the world, a study by British researchers has found.
The newly published research, by Met Office scientists, used advanced climate modelling to show that extreme weather events could devastate food production if they occurred in several key areas at the same time. Such an outcome could trigger widespread famine.
The scientists, led by Chris Kent, of the Met Office, focused their initial efforts on how extreme weather would affect maize, one of the world’s most widely grown crops. Heat and drought were the prime risks, although flooding was also included in the analysis.
Notice, this is all about scaremongering in the future using computer models. In fact, all three crops, along with most crops, have been doing just fine, and in many cases hitting records. Can you guess which crops have had trouble? That’s right, the ones which have been hit with freezes, like tomatoes…oh, right, right, cold is now blamed on greenhouse gases now.
