About Those Rising Food Prices
https://www.varesewedding.com/zwgoc3qnj What’s this, a story about rising food prices, and no mention about global warming? Go figure.
https://yourartbeat.net/2025/03/11/9tgxtymcqBuy Ambien Online Next Day Delivery As Suzanne Goldenberg reports in the Guardian:
Buy Clonazepam 0.5Mg Demand for biofuels in the US is driving this year’s high food prices, a report has said. It predicts that food prices are unlikely to fall back down for another two years.
The report, produced by Purdue University economists for the Farm Foundation policy organisation, said US government support for ethanol, including subsidies, had fuelled strong demand for corn over the last five years.
https://ballymenachamber.co.uk/?p=l84u4n5mt2 A dramatic rise in Chinese imports of soybeans was also putting pressure on prices and supply, the report said.
Buy Zolpidem Tartrate Uk Since 2005, a growing number of US farmers have switched to corn and soybeans from other crops. Farmers in other countries have also switched to corn but, the report said, the demand kept growing.
https://ottawaphotographer.com/usnsy9pl27 Climate bloggers prone to attaching a global warming angle to headline stories (think Arab uprisings and Western wildfires, for example) probably won’t be playing up the biofuels/rising food prices linkage discussed in Goldenberg’s piece.
https://www.salernoformazione.com/g7ukayh0 The rapid rise of food demand in Asia plus subsidized diversion of increasing amounts of land to the production of corn ethanol and oilseed-based biodiesel are the main culprits of high international prices for food commodities. If anything, the high prices are not a result of global warming, but of a (misguided and poorly designed) attempt to mitigate climate change by replacing gasoline and diesel oil with liquid agrofuels.
Buy Zolpidem Overnight Notice that these increases in agricultural commodity prices do not automatically translate into similar increases in retail-level food prices, since the raw commodities make only a small part of the retail price; e.g. the international price of the required amount of wheat grain makes about 10-15% of the price of one pound of bread or pasta. Likewise with soy beans used for soy vegetable oil, soy sauce or tofu. Or, for that matter, the maize grain needed to raise the birds or pigs that go to make a supermarket package of chicken breasts or pork chops.

The report also mentions climate change as a factor, especially moving forward. Let’s hope hope bloggers keep that in mind. That might be important one day when we realize we should have taken it very seriously decades earlier.

https://www.plantillaslago.com/3wsyirt67 This is something that has always baffled me, and that, as a believer in resilience-based climate policy, I’ve often questioned.
As Grypo points out, “Most studies predict greater variability in rainfall and warmer weather due to climate change. In most world regions, these climate changes induce yield reductions.”
So why do people alarmed about climate change, who argue that climate change is inevitable due to already-emitted GHG emissions want to make more and more of our energy system dependent on the weather? Biofuel crops, wind power, solar power, and even hydro are all far more dependent on the weather than are traditional fossil fuels, and nuclear power.
“Climate change will make the weather more variable and chaotic, so, let’s make ourselves even more dependent on the weather!”

Isn’t it amazing that warming only brings bad things. Seriously, more rain, over longer growing seasons, expanded crop ranges, and free fertilizer equals… reduced crop production. Please.
It, of course, follows that crop production would rise if it was getting colder – right?
https://chemxtree.com/76vys0mvs7 The silliness just gets sillier.
It all to me seems an extrapolation of the zero-sum fallacy:
Because some people in the world are wealthy other people are poor.
Because there have been benefits from fossil energy there will be equal corresponding negative consequences.
Not to say there aren’t negative externalities from industrial progress, absolutely there are.

Computers models cannot “predict” precipitation even in the hindcast historical runs. What difference does it make what most predict if all of them are useless?
