Record Wheat Crop This Year

I'm thinking of opening up a bakery in N.O. to supply my restaurants here with bread and desserts and seeing how that goes first before I try it in the other state's I have my restaurants in.
I am also thinking of investing in a micro brewery and restaurant supply business.

I'm always looking for new business opportunities to grow and expand.

If you do the brewing visit the Czech Republic first and try the cheap bottled beer the locals drink. Massively strong, tastes delicious and no hangover.

Oh, and I am impressed with you yet again.

You can't look at a graph and see that it's going up??? You need somebody to draw a line on it for you do you??

You think looking at a graph is all you need to do to see a trend? It's much more complex than that. For example, is 15 years of increase significant?

And that's not even talking about whether that increase correlates with temperatures or CO[sub]2[/sub]? Can you even tie correlation, if it exists, to increasing temperatures and CO[sub]2[/sub] based on some form of causation? Or is increasing wheat production based on some other factor that is unrelated to AGW?

The fact is this requires more than an naked eye examination of a single graph in order to claim any causation.

N.O. = New Orleans?

Your restaurants have to be good- because I don't think mediocre restaurants can survive in that city!
 
[h=2]Scientists find one place on Earth that climate change is good for[/h]
[h=3]Lo and Behold — climate change “may” help feed the starving Ethiopians and turn the nation into a “food exporting country”.[/h]( That sounds pretty serious. Pay billions – Stop That Now!)
With so many climate models, sooner or later one was going to turn up something good — in much the same way that Lotto somehow “finds” the winner. Incredibly the happy possibility even made it into a press release.
Perhaps it is safe to admit that climate change may help people in a country where the UN is not wanting to scare the voters into buying carbon credits?
Where are the headlines “Burn Oil and help feed Ethiopia?”
Where are the Green NGOs who see an opportunity here to get Ethiopia on its feet? Don’t they believe the climate models – Or is it that they don’t really give a toss about hungry black kids?
[h=3]Climate change may help Ethiopia, increase the country’s access to water[/h]A team of researchers from Virginia Tech have predicted that water availability in the Blue Nile Basin of Ethiopia may increase in coming decades due to global climate change. It could also lead to increased crop production, spur massive hydroelectric power projects, and foster irrigation development in the region.
“For all the catastrophic impacts of climate change, there are some silver linings,” said Zach Easton, associate professor of biological systems engineering. “The sad irony is that climate change may be the catalyst Ethiopia needs to become a food-exporting country.”
What if a climate model found that a wealthy developed nation (aka “a UN cash cow”) would be better off …

Depends on which famine you're discussing.

I was thinking of the big one they had in the mid 80's I think.
The way I heard it, it was largely caused by different factions destroying the crops.

War & instability don't help, but they're not the only causes.

With that information, it cannot be long before someone tries to blame the famines on AGW:mrgreen:

Yes. Because climate change could never affect crops. :roll:

Oh the irony! The link talks about famines in the Ethiopia going back almost 500 years,
I speculated that it would not take long for someone to say AGW was responsible,
and I was right!

Don't you know that you should only count those feedbacks that support the dogma!
