" was heard babbling semi-coherently:
Fran continued laughing at the presumptions of: "lost past" was sniveling incoherently about: Bolaleman cited: Climate change could devastate US crop yields, published September 1, 2009 Climate change could result in severe shortages of two of America’s most important grains, according to the authors of a new study published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). The research was conducted by two economists, Dr Michael Roberts of North Carolina State University and Dr Wolfram Schlenker at Columbia University, who used a well-known climate change prediction model to assess how much yields could decline by the end of the century. They found that corn, soy and cotton yields could fall by 30 to 46 percent in this time under the slowest warming scenarios – if greenhouse gas emissions are cut to 50 percent of 1991 levels by 2050 – and by 63 to 82 percent if emissions continue at current levels. If CO2 emissions are cut by 50% there will be NO CROPS. So what you're saying is that if CO2 keeps rising (albeit at a slower rate) the crops that are already growing will have so little CO2 to work with that they won't be able to complete a Calvin Cycle. Not content earlier with posting graphs that contradict your claims, you are posting claims that are self-contradictory You really are a moron, or perhaps someone trying to prove that filth merchant propagandists are morons Flannie -- you are too confused to debate!! Leotard, you're falsely presuming that if CO2 emissions are cut by 50% that somehow the concentrations of CO2 in the troposphere will magically fall to less than 225 ppm.. --Speaking to your confusion, directly.. |

It's the same as saying that if instead banking $100 per week I only bank $50 then my bank account will decline as a consequence by 50%. It's even more stupid than that of course because at various times in Earth's history CO2 has been as low as 180ppmv without vegetation ceasing, and not that humanity has any means to force levels down to this point, or the will. It's just a classic strawman using a combination composition fallacy/ slippery slope. That it started from an utterly spurious premise just adds to the fun. Fran |
