You have got to laugh.

Brian of Buderim comes in swinging haymakers like this: <<the usual rat pack of deniers, shills, ratbags, hollow men>>

And he is the hero ...the exemplar (according to Candide & Mollydukes)

It's everyone else who is doing the " harass[ing] or ... incit[ing] hatred"

LOL

Well said Killarney! I do disagree though that world wide famine can come up again. See there is no profit it letting consumers starve and die. Food from another country can be sold at better prices to starving punters. When I say better prices I mean a shed load more than it was bought from the grower.

Consideration of world famine these days should surely include disruption of available fuel supply for production and transportation of food. Food rotting in trucks empty of fuel, desperate hungry irritated people raiding gardens, is already happening in some countries.

Does anyone think a famine can or will happen overnight?

There is a protein famine right now amongst many Pacific Islands people no longer able to obtain adequate affordable essential protein from the sea. Malnutrition is destructive, including of trade between people and nations.

Think about human influence on cloud cover likely to impact seagrass that is dependent on sunlight and photosynthesis. Seagrass and algae and plants do not produce oxygen at night or under heavy cloud. The ocean food web is dependent on seagrass nurseries.

James H Rust, I am not sure when I read so much ignorance in a single post. It may have been the last time I looked at Natural News.

The climate risks for Australian agriculture are less about temperature and more about water availability. Increasing temperature will have an impact on production, regardless of the “fertilizing effect” of CO2. The major crop species grown in Australia, wheat, has an optimum of 19 C for grain production. It is well known in grain production the planting dates need to be carefully managed to reduce the risk of spring heat impacting on yield. Increasing temperatures will increase the risks of spring heat. If spring temperatures were to increase by 2 C, there would be a dramatic decrease in wheat production area.

But the real problem is water availability. The vast majority of the production area is rainfed and at the mercy of rainfall. Rainfall is predicted to decrease with climate change in the main agricultural production areas in the south of the country. This has already happened in the south-west of Western Australia. In addition, rainfall patterns are predicted to change with less rainfall in autumn when winter crops are planted and more in summer when nothing is grown.

So, let them eat cake, eh James?

"So, let them eat cake, eh James?"

No agro, let them build dams; oh, that's right none of that environmental vandalism under the Greens.

Green policies are to blame for food shortages; nothing else. We see this in the growth of biofuel cropping, land given over to 'carbon' sequestration, policies preventing clearing of vegetation [as in the Peter Spencer case and many others], green prevention of GM technology and so on.

It is hypocrisy of the highest order to fabricate scenarios where food production will be curtailed due to the imaginary AGW and ignore the real oppressive effect of green ideology on food production.

That's not cake agro, that's a triple layer mudcake with extra dollops of cream and cherries right in the kisser.

Dams, cohenite? How are dams going to help when there is going to be less water available?

To fill dams you need run-off. Less rain means even less run-off. Perhaps Australia should build dams in Kakadu and pipe the water to Wagga?

Or perhaps you are thinking of capturing that extra summer rainfall and holding it in dams where it will evaporate faster due to the increasing summer temperatures?

Or more likely, you are not thinking.
