Climate change poised to hurt food supplies: study The effects of climate change on food production could cause 500,000 extra deaths by 2050 compared to a world without global warming, according to a study released Thursday. If greenhouse gas emissions continue at current rates, this would cut projected increases in food availability by about a… "Year-to-year variability of food production will become greater, which will make global food markets more unpredictable." Extreme climate events -- such as the wheat harvest failure in Russia in 2010 -- will also become more common, he added.

yeah right... good model. its likely wrong on 2 counts. 1. My model shows that food production goes up... as the world gets warmer and greener and technology improves... whether we have expected variability or not. 2. the real isssue is carbon footprint expansion as progressives attempt to bring all these immigrants to the west. The 3rd worlders carbon footprints expand massively when they reach the first world. My modest proposal... we repopulate 2 progressives from the first world to the 3rd world for every 3rd world person who moves up.

The Maunder Minimum is so named because there was a low in sunspot activity during that time. Because Earth receives less solar radiation during lulls in sunspot activity, the Northern Hemisphere was cooler during the Maunder Minimum than in the time periods before or after.
The Pope has called on Europe to reexamine its stance on Muslim migration. Says Europe needs to find its Christian heritage again. The Pope is a fuckbag tho.
The worsening of tidal flooding in American coastal communities is largely a consequence of greenhouse gases from human activity, and the problem will grow far worse in coming decades, scientists reported Monday. Those emissions, primarily from the burning of fossil fuels, are causing the ocean to rise at the fastest rate since at least the founding of ancient Rome, the scientists said. They added that in the absence of human emissions, the ocean surface would be rising less rapidly and might even be falling. The increasingly routine tidal flooding is making life miserable in places like Miami Beach; Charleston, S.C.; and Norfolk, Va., even on sunny days.
No it's not. You have zero proof of that. 3.4% of CO2 come from humans. The other 96.5% comes from decomposing organic matter. You have no idea what the facts are. And the Pope is a stupid fuckbag who doesn't know his ass from his elbow. Should we start posting quotes?
Scientist admit climate models have failed to predict climate. http://www.nature.com/news/global-warming-hiatus-debate-flares-up-again-1.19414 “There is this mismatch between what the climate models are producing and what the observations are showing,” says lead author John Fyfe, a climate modeller at the Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis in Victoria, British Columbia. “We can’t ignore it.” http://www.climate-lab-book.ac.uk/2016/making-sense/#comment-2008 Reality has deviated from our expectations – it is perfectly normal (& indeed essential) to try and understand this difference. Oddly, Lewandowsky et al. seem to disagree, suggesting that trying to explain this event “departs from long-standing practice“, which I think is utterly bizarre and simply wrong.
