"Chronic food shortages" because of global warming?


Scientists threaten toddlers
Sometimes I am not sure if the American population really is brainwashed or if the mainstream media just wants it that way.

"Many of today's toddlers face the grim prospect of coping with chronic food shortages in their old age if agricultural science doesn't adapt to a warming world, concluded scientists in a study published Friday in the journal Science."

Ooohh, get that. Starving babies! DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN!! DO IT DO IT DO IT!!! YEAH DADDY!! DO ME DO ME DO ME!!! SHOW ME THE MONEY!!! GIMME THE MONEY!!!

What, your computer didn't show you that part of the quote? My oscillation overthurster must be boosting the reality perception field again. It happens on these older models you know.

Yes, you should find it obscene. These scientists are blackmailing you with kids lives, and they want money and control.

But the fourth paragraph is the teller. Emphasis added.

"By the end of the century, the worst of the heat waves in recent times will become the normal average summertime temperatures, the researchers reported. They based their conclusions on 23 climate models in a 2007 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, as well as data from severe heat waves dating several decades."

Those much vaunted models have yet to predict anything accurately, yet they are trotted out again and again.

This is classic example of the "heads I win tails you lose" gambit. If the models actually predict something, then all the panic is justified. If the models don't predict something (as in FAIL), why then, something is obviously and desperately catastrophic and we have to ACT NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!! No one stops to ask if maybe the assumptions behind the models could be wrong.

What they also don't say is that "decades" is nothing when it comes to weather cycles. The last ice age peaked ten thousand years ago. Recorded history only goes back only about six thousand years, and it's pretty spotty for anything over a thousand, especially in the West.

A century isn't a big enough baseline, even if you could trust the goosed numbers.

But you are supposed to panic.

You're supposed to surrender your freedom to the technocrats who know best.

And you are not allowed to dissent.

Frankly, when it comes to growing and distributing food, I'd rather trust a farmer's greed than a technocrat's "warnings."
