    When looking at food production around the globe there is plenty of evidence that climate change is having a negative impact on food production.

      Is chuckroach saying the palliser triangle can become very dry at times?
      palliser explored that area 165 years ago.

        Climate change is affecting more than just the palliser triangle.

        Did you collect crop insurance last year tsipper?

          Where do you get that information?
          If you read it in MSM they also like to preach that current farming practices are degrading the productivity of the land and we have to go back to some type of low input system of legumes and livestock.
          As you just pointed out , modern farming practices are much of the reason for the amazing yields on the charts Les gave us the link for.
          Did you look up your RM?
          Post up the image like the one A5 put up.
          I'm sure it will be similar.

            Well no shit, yields have incraesed since the 1930s. But to say it is because of rising CO2 levels, is just another boneheaded idea from the pretend libertarian from Alberta!

              I'm sure you could superimpose a C02 chart over those yield charts and make an argument it proved what you are saying.
              It's just a matter of getting the scale you want.
              You can make look very different when you scale them different.
              That might be called modeling?
              Of course no one is going to bet the farm on such flimsy BS.

                Is that why worldwide yields and total production keep increasing?
                Can you provide even a single example of a crop yield somewhere in the world in long term decline?

                  Is that why oversupply is crashing prices? Too little production from TOO much C02?

                    So you are going to stand by your boneheaded idea again that increased yields since the 1930s worldwide are all the result of increasing CO2 levels? LOL

                    You just can't help yourself can you?

                      Personally I think there are many contributing factors to increasing average yields but the fact remains they are increasing!
