Wrong, Bloomberg, Climate Change Has Boosted Food Production and Lowered Prices, Not the Opposite
This increase in food production has occurred even as the number of people and the amount of land devoted to growing crops has declined. Fewer people, farming less land, producing…
Rice, CO₂, and the Climate Story the Media Keep Missing
The combination of human innovation, agricultural modernization, and the fertilization effect of rising atmospheric CO₂ has helped create a world that produces far more food than it did a half…
India Should Abandon Its Ethanol Illusion

India’s Record Crops Reject Food, Warming Alarmism
Ours is an agricultural golden age. The air is richer in the compound that gives plants life. The weather is more conducive to growing food than it has been in…
Global rice production has nearly doubled over 50 years despite climate change

Right, Washington Post, Banning Hamburger Ads Won’t Stop Climate Change
They want to push what farmers remain to go all-organic, which ironically means they will need more land to produce anywhere near the same output because yields will fall, resulting…
No, Washington Post, ‘Carbon Pollution’ Isn’t Making Food Less Healthy
The Washington Post has taken a modest statistical decline in select minerals and inflated it into a planetary health crisis. That is not balanced reporting. Their readers deserve better.
Quit Fearmongering, San Francisco Chronicle, Climate Change Isn’t Coming for Cabernet
…a disservice to the San Francisco Chronicle’s readers, misrepresenting the true state of Cabernet production and its prospects in an attempt to advance the false narrative that climate change is dooming…
The ‘Climate Change’ Bottom Line
Climate-related disaster deaths have declined 97.5% over the century (1920-2025). Richer, smarter, and more resilient societies reduce disaster deaths. This swamps any potential climate signal.
Sustainability Professors: Global Warming Might Force Restriction of Agricultural Water Use
