Posted Mon Jul 28 2014: from National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR):
Climate Change Increases Risk of Crop Slowdown in Next 20 Years http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1406558726
The world faces a small but substantially increased risk over the next two decades of a major slowdown in the growth of global corn and wheat yields because of climate change, according to new research. Such a slowdown would occur as global demand for crops rapidly increases.... the risk is about 20 times more significant than it would be without global warming, and it may require planning by organizations that are affected by international food availability and price.
