#19  The current optimised yield grain plants are all hybrids picked for local growing conditions.
If the local conditions change, they'll plant different hybrid varieties. Seriously. It's kinda like changing light bulb wattages til you find the right one. They're already marketing this stuff.
I wouldn't expect a journalist to research any of this.

#17  Wouldn't a drastic drop in crop yields mean starvation and death and a return to balance with Gaia? If they believed this stuff I doubt they'd say anything.

#15  And when nothing changes? Will they admit they had it wrong?

They're counting on you to forget by then.

#14  They even admit that more CO2 will increase crop yields, but they will be overcome by other negative factors, like, I suppose, mental depression over the inevitable boiling off of the oceans.

Everything's always changing. They just have to plant the seeds so that you interpret the drunkard's walk as the End Of The World.

Surprise yet another 10 year warning..

We're going die prediction UNLESS... .

How missed prediction have doomsayers missed in the last 50 years alone?

Should we expect to see Al Gore and others out making another few $Million$ each spewing more hype for $$$$?

Despite ALL of their "We're gonna die in 10 years, UNLESS ..." snake oil speeches and promises failing to happen?
