Show me the evidence and I'm the easiest the man in the world to convince. But so far I only see good in the climate change. Longer growing seasons, bumper crop yields and more food security. Earth is greening, enjoy it.
- ditch_baby 3y agoLonger seasons will be good for a few years, until summer gets so hot that people start dying. Oh wait, they are dying, in the order of hundreds of thousands of climate deaths each year. But that’s okay, because we have hearty, heat resistant crops. Oh wait, we don’t. There are already reports of major crop failures in North Africa and minor crop failures in Europe. Some years there will be massive flooding that obliterates yield, and other years it will be heat and drought. None of the reputable science sources I’ve read post anything positive about future crop yields regarding climate change, quite the opposite. Current climate predictions place us at +3C by the end of the century, which means 100F+ wet bulb temps in previously moderate climates. Nothing we care about survives those temperatures. Not people or crops or cattle.
