Since no one can dispute the facts presented I will have to assume that global warming is a net positive.

The overall effects on agriculture will be negative if warming continues.... Climate Impacts on Agriculture and Food Supply | Climate Change | US EPA

The World Future Council: How climate change affects agriculture

Agriculture affected by global warming | Agriculture Goods

One recent Stanford University study found that increases in global production of maize and wheat since 1980 would have been about 5% higher were it not for climate change.

It's not.

It's part of the basis for determining whether or not an argument is an ad hominem.

Please, try to keep up.

Yeah, well, that's how pseudo-science cultists determine what they think is science now. It's a popularity contest, just like junior high.

Science is malleable.

Credibility finds its own equilibrium.

Global warming science has nothing.

Nothing!

"Intelligent Science" has more.
