For many years we have been warned that climate change is creating a
“climate crisis”, with heat and drought reducing agricultural yields to
the point that humanity will suffer. Every time there’s a drought, we
are told that this is just one more example of human-caused climate
change.
But droughts have always occurred. The question is: Are they getting
worse? And, has modest warming had any effects on grain yields? ......
So, here we are with yet another year (2016) experiencing either record or near-record yields in corn, soybeans, and wheat. Even La Nina, which was widely feared would cause reduced crop yields this year, did not materialize.
How can this be?"
