If it got much hotter there you wouldn't have either.

As we've tried to point out, sure, we'd still have a graden, providing fresh produce if it were 130 in Phoenix. We'd just have to trade some particulars for others & amend our environment to fit the situation.

ADAPTABILITY. Try some.

Nope, most scientists agree what's happening is not normal or natural.

Oh, you mean these jokers here.....



LOL, get your copy of the emails exposing Global Warning as a fraud here.


Some interesting reading. Commies commiting fraud to protect their funding while attacking and blaming capitalism. :laugh3:


I guess you might missed how you have been played.

The sky is falling!

I'd like to say I'm really gonna miss this
but I'm giving up lying as well

You should realize that some crops will grow better at 80 degrees than they do at 120 degrees.

Nice deception to avoid answering my question.

What crops will grow at your preferred lower temperatures better than they will at current temperatures? PLEASE ANSWER.

What crops will have better per-acre production at your preferred lower temperatures better than they will at current temperatures? PLEASE ANSWER.

Are you stating that the Earth will soon be warming to 120 degrees?

I was using Jim's model. Did you notice where he had temps rising 40 degrees?

Try reading for comprehension.

I asked what crops would grow better at a lower temperature -- 40 degrees -- than at the current normal average temperature -- 80 degrees. I was not increasing temperatures 40 degrees unless you believe that the current normal average temperatures are 40 degrees now.

I love the way the word "most" gets bandied about by the GW zealots. I have posted the link to a petition signed by over 32,000 scientists who disagree with AGW theory yet you have yet to show me anything higher than the 2,500 cited by the IPCC.

Jim, crops have ideal temperatures. Too low or too high can ruin them.

Are you stating that the Earth will soon be warming to 120 degrees?

I was using your 40 degree increase model that you discussed.

Crops have optimal temperature ranges. Either too hot or too cool and the growth rate drops, often dramatically. You can change crops and you can genetically engineer crops to be more resistant to cold or heat..but changing crop types completely for entire regions is far more difficult and expensive than you might imagine.

Cold snaps and heat waves kill entire crops...as do droughts. IF, for instance, the average temperature in California were to increase dramatically, or decrease dramatically..you'd have to start changing types of Oranges grown there...and that's not a 1-season turnaround.

Other things that change with temperature change? Insects and other pests.

Bumped from September 13 - Time-lapse proof of extreme ice loss: James Balog on TED.com

"Ninety five percent of the glaciers in the world are retreating or shrinking... there is no scientific dispute about that"



Photographer James Balog shares new image sequences from the Extreme Ice Survey, a network of time-lapse cameras recording glaciers receding at an alarming rate, some of the most vivid evidence yet of climate change. (Recorded at TEDGlobal 2009, July 2009 in Oxford, England. Duration: 19:22)

James Balog and the Extreme Ice Survey were featured in a one-hour documentary on NOVA/PBS on March 24, 2009. The film follow[ed] James as he photographs spectacular landscapes in Alaska, Greenland, and Iceland and, with his team, collects images from his time-lapse cameras.
