Sometimes I think I should type these posts in all CAPS to match the hysteria of the Cult Of Gore disciples
Even if we stopped spewing global warming gases today, the world would face a steady rise in food prices this century. But on our current emissions path, climate change becomes the “threat multiplier” that could double grain prices by 2050 and leave millions more children malnourished, global food experts reported Wednesday.
Beyond 2050, when climate scientists project temperatures might rise to as much as 6.4 degrees C (11.5 degrees F) over 20th century levels, the planet grows “gloomy” for agriculture, said senior research fellow Gerald Nelson of the International Food Policy Research Institute.
The specialists of the authoritative, Washington-based IFPRI said they fed 15 scenarios of population and income growth into supercomputer models of climate and found that “climate change worsens future human well-being, especially among the world’s poorest people.”
There is just so much incredibly insane through those first three paragraphs, I don’t have the energy or time to tear them all apart. So, let’s go with
- They can’t get a 10 day forecast correct (hell, I’ve seen the forecast for Raleigh for next week change 7 times in 36 hours), yet, they can know what the temp may be in 40 years? Mule fritters!
- You know what would really suck for food prices? Another little ice age, where the seasons are shorter and the growing areas are reduced. Not too mention that these same enviroweenies want to do away with most modern agricultural methods. Oh, and using food for frackin’ fuel.
- Supercomputers, eh? Garbage in, garbage out.
Unsurprisingly, this report was issued at the climate conference in exotic Cancun, as thousands descend to party.
