Oh. I didn't know that. That's a strange way to identify a copyright violation.

Cooling will devastate our ability to produce food much quicker than warming will.

Roadking, some regions will get more precipitation, and that precipitation may come with intensified storm events, but there will be longer periods of dry events.

Other regions will have to contend with desertification, which will definitely effect food production. That's already occurring in parts of the world.

Check out what's happening to Chad Lake on the African continent.

Closer to home, Lake Powell, which is a huge reservoir, has had water levels steadily decline. Between 99' and 05' it lost 2/3 of its volume. Part of the problem is increased load of silt.

The SW has always been an arid desert, but precipitation is declining. So, we have declining precipitation in an area where that precipitation contributes to the water in the Colorado River. That river is the one damned for Lake Powell, which is filling with silt. Add to the fact that the population is increasing.

Regardless of whether or not CC is happening, we have emanate problems that will have to be dealt with, both at home, and afar. The problems aren't the same across the board.

.

I do not disagree that changes are occurring. But that's been happening since the beginning. It's well documented that we had a "mini ice age" in the 16th, 17th and 16th centuries. Also, that we had a "Medieval warm period" from about 800 through 1100 - long before man started producing significant levels of CO2.

Changes in rainfall patters have also been occurring forever. What's happening today is nothing new other than the panic and money making hoax that has allowed guys like Al Gore to make millions.
