This week we look at agriculture, which seems to be constantly under attack as either being a contributor to climate change, or will suffer from predicted climate change catastrophic effects.
But, the reality is far different. Despite a modest warming over the past century, agricultural yields continue to grow, setting several new record highs in the past decade. Further, despite media claims of effects from drought and heatwaves, crops continue to flourish.
Join our host, Anthony Watts, and weekly panelists, Dr. Sterling Burnett and Linnea Lueken as we take a hard look at the real-world data, as well as discuss the “Crazy Climate News of the Week.”
Tune in LIVE for Climate Change Roundtable at Noon CT/1PM ET this Friday to engage in this enlightening discussion. Don’t forget to leave your questions to have them answered live during the show! Tune in to share your thoughts and be a part of the conversation.

Huh? What do you mean despite warming, records have been set? Besides improved methods, more CO2 and more rain, warmer weather is no doubt a positive factor in the increased production of the vast majority of food crops.
There are cool weather crops, here’s the list:
Arugula, Beets, Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Cabbage, Carrots,
Cauliflower, Collards, Cucumber, Garlic, Kale, Kohlrabi, Leek,
Lettuce, Mustard greens, Onion, Parsnip, Pea, Potato, Radish,
Rutabaga, Spinach, Swiss chard, and Turnips (source)
The only significant crop on that list is the potato.

1. More rain is not a problem.
2. Warmer weather is not a problem.
3. More arable land is not a problem.
4. Longer growing seasons is not a problem.
5. CO2 greening of the earth is not a problem.
6. There isn’t any Climate Crisis.
“There are cool weather crops”
and, luckily there are still plenty of COLD areas of the planet to grow those crops
There are people who believe the world’s population is too high and needs to be reduced. They know that saying we should reduce food production to make billions starve would not go down well.
So instead they use climate change as an excuse to attack agriculture.
In reality, the world’s population is going to start falling because of the falling fertility rates.
A documentary called Birth Gap talks about the population collapse,

Without fossil fuel energy, there would be mass starvation.
Anthony,
It might be a good idea to put links to those 3 web sites you mentioned at the end in the “Bookmarks” section of the sidebar.. or some other obvious place.
Cheers
