We May All Have to Cut Carbs Thanks to Climate Change
Rising global temperatures will harm wheat harvests—and poor countries will be hardest hit.It seems that as the world’s temperature heats up, more of the world may be forced to go gluten-free.
Remember when climate change was commonly called “the greenhouse effect,†which seemed to suggest that at the very worst we might all end up living in a kind of perpetual summer surrounded by lush greenery? It would be a little humid, maybe, but might otherwise resemble a verdant, abundant, postindustrial Garden of Eden? Oh, those were the days.
On the contrary, climate experts and agricultural scientists have long warned that climate change will likely wreak havoc on the global food supply. A new study appears to offer some of the most convincing evidence to date on the serious effect global warming could have on one of the world’s most important crops, wheat.
If you’re thinking that this is just another in a long line of apocolyptic doom stories from the Cult of Climastrology, you’d be correct. Even when proven wrong, they keep banging the same drum, so, hence the reason they pimp future doom
More than 50 scientists based around the world—from China to the EU to the U.S.—participated in the research, the results of which were published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change. The team found that an increase of 1 degree Celsius in global temperature would cause worldwide wheat production to fall between 4 percent and almost 6.5 percent. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the leading international scientific body on the issue of global warming, predicts global temperature to rise between 2 and 6 degrees Celsius by the end of the century.
Got that? In the future. The article even mentions the record wheat crops
All told, worldwide wheat production hit nearly 735 million metric tons last year, a record high that the 2016–17 harvest is expected to surpass.
But, if the CoC is correct, then that will drop by a minimum of 30 million metric tons, and doom! All based on
But for the scientists involved, the study represented something of a breakthrough in that it employed three separate methods—two model simulations and a rigorous statistical analysis—all of which produced essentially the same results.
Interestingly, all their models in the past have been wrong. But, hey, this time they’re going to be correct, right? Right?
