Re Iowa corn production.... Recent weather events and climatic trends are stressing agriculturally related resources. Increased rainfall and frequency of much heavier-than-normal rainfall events result in disproportionately negative impacts on soil and water resources and on crop production. Increasing dew-point temperatures and reduced wind flow have potential near-term crop disease impacts. Subsurface drainage is increasingly necessary to maintain acceptable crop yields. Elevated precipitation and early season rainfall increasingly delay planting, increase nitrate nitrogen losses, and affect nitrogen fertilizer application timing. Climate extremes, not the averages, frequently control productivity of crops and livestock.
This is the argument "other things affected the climate before we came along, so the things we do cannot possibly affect the climate". It's a stupid argument, and only stupid people make it. Either that, or the people who make it know it's stupid but make it anyway because to do otherwise would contradict Republican talking points. People who make the argument you make are either stupid or lacking in integrity. There is no third choice. Which one are you?
