Food Crisis: Global Warming's Biggest Threat

When searing temperatures blasted Western Europe in 2003, more than 50,000 people died and harvests of wheat, animal fodder and fruit fell by up to a third.

Imagine that heat being the norm over much of the world, and you'll have an idea what the future is likely to hold for agriculture -- and humanity, says a new report from scientists at the University of Washington and Stanford University.

"I'm not worried about Greenland sliding into the sea. I'm not worried about sea levels going up," said UW atmospheric sciences professor David Battisti. "This is probably the most compelling reason why we need to deal with global warming."

It's not the lack of food as much as the lack of utilizing energy resources.

Men, women and children in developing countries are DYING because they lack energy to store food and medicine. There are no refridgerators, air conditioners.. heck there is no electricity.

The global warming supporters are happy to watch hundreds of thousands of children die each year so they can feel good about themselves for 'saving the planet".

The biggest threat to world food supplies as it related to global warming hysteria is that as the world's corn supplies are used increasingly more for ethanol, world food supplies will be reduced. We are already seeing the results of this in Mexico where 75,000 protested the rising price of corn tortillas. This is just the beginning. Thank Al Gore!!!

Please make sure that Al Gore is held accountable for his most recent misleading statement about climate change:

Don't worry kids, global warming is over.

It was 78 degrees BELOW ZERO in Alaska today and the ice levels are back to 1979 levels.

If anything will effect the food supply, it's all this global cooling and the shorter growing seasons.

Time for a new scam.

And it was 69 degrees above zero in Napa CA this morning at 4AM.

Don't worry, they call it Average Global Temps for a reason, and they are trending upwards.

And I'll listen to this guy who actually studies the growing seasons around the world instead of your half baked opinion.
