A planet ravaged by climate catastrophe…

Just produced a record amount of food  

Throughout this year, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization has been issuing reports on the global cereal production status, with a particular focus on supply and demand.

As of October 6, 2023, FAO revealed that, compared to their previous projections, global cereal production had increased by around 3.8 million metric tons, totaling 2,819 million metric tons. This marks a 0.9% uptick in production.

A single data point with a <1% change you claim as proof there's nothing wrong, while ignoring every single indicator that goes in the opposite direction.

Funny how you celebrate a 0.9% uptick in cereal production when you call a 1.5 C increase in global temperatures "hundredths of a degree" 

 

For perspective, that 3.8 million tons is actually less than what Ukraine exports in a month, and they'll actually drop by around 5 million this year compared to the past 5-year average because other crops like oilseed are more profitable for them.

People aren't starving because the world not growing enough grain, they're starving because they can't afford it. And farmers don't want prices to go too low otherwise they'll make a loss.

What would those other indicators be? Certainly it would not be floods, droughts, tornadoes, tropical cyclones, wildfire or accelerated sea level rise as NOAA has said none of those have been observed outside the range of natural variability. Do we really want to tank the world’s economy to save an equatorial glacier?

Does that include all the corn that is used to make ethanol.

I’m sure it does

which probably corresponds to a 0.9% uptick in human population over the same period

About the same as it has been since records began to be made. The graph looks the same if one looks at the last two hundred years. The massive acceleration due to human induced CO2 has yet to manifest. Yes the planet has warmed, glaciers have melted and sea levels have risen, just as they have done since the end of the last ice age.

If that’s your interpretation of my lack of desire to debate your interpretation of NOAA papers, I’ll try to restrain my tears.

Yep.  Sea rise rate has more than doubled  - from 0.06 inches per year in the 1900's to 0.14 inches per year more recently, as warrming has accelerated.  And that will continue to accelerate as the climate continues to warm.  Once we hit .25 inches per year, we're looking at 2.5 inches a decade, and we start to lose Florida.

Omigosh! If that happens, where will "woke go to die"?

Pretty sure they're not white, and thus aren't really a consideration.

“On June 30, 1989, the Associated Press squeezed decimation into a tight, 11-year window, with an ominous article, “Rising Seas Could Obliterate Nations,” containing a jaw-dropping opener: “A senior UN environmental official (Noel Brown) says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.”

Global warming catastrophe is always just around the corner yet never seems to get here.

It is a relatively slow walk, but it is already here.  the deniers are like 'oooo Al Gore said 2030....' and then it happens by 2070, therefore it must be all false and just a load of crap so that Bill Gates can put chips in everyone.....

10000 year old ice is melting, which means this is not some regular 50-500 year 'weather cycle'.  just one of the thousands of data points that you continue to ignore or dismiss using your version of junk science
