Corn up 7% worldwide, Paul Ehrlich of course sees agricultural collapse
While the alarmists wail over 400PPM of CO2, and push doom and gloom crop failure scenarios, in the real world where people risk money and livelihood, the news is far, far, better.

Nitrogen as pollutant and lifegiver
From Kansas State University, dueling statements, which I’ve highlighted in bold. Its the same sort of nonsense argument we here for Carbon Dioxide, that while essential for all life on the planet, it is also a pollutant. I see a … Continue reading

Do Increasing Temperatures Lower Crop Yields?

Neutrons and the 1970s cooling period
Note: the original title Solar Neutrons and the 1970s cooling period was unintentionally misleading as Dr. Svalgaard points out in comments: What produces Solar Neutrons? the title of the post is misleading. The cosmic rays are protons, not neutrons, and … Continue reading

Unclear on the concept: ‘Organic food could help save the world from global warming’
