Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN Released March 5, 2020 Global cereal markets in 2019/20 are expected to remain well supplied, comfortably covering the forecast growth in consumption. FAO’s 2019 world cereal production estimate is currently pegged at 2 719 million tonnes, almost 62 million tonnes (2.3 percent) above production in 2018 and 4.7 million tonnes higher than reported in February.  The estimate of global production of coarse grains has been raised by 5 million tonnes to 1 444 million tonnes since the previous report in February, up by 2.4 percent from 2018. The latest revision incorporates recently released official …

Eureka Alert University of York | 28-Feb-2020 IMAGE: The findings are based on sea level reconstructions derived from salt-marsh sediments from the Atlantic coast and from microscopic salt-marsh fossils. Credit: Prof Roland Gehrels, University of York Study found evidence for a period of enhanced pre-industrial sea-level rise of about 2-3 millimeters per year The study, led by the University of York, found evidence for a period of enhanced pre-industrial sea-level rise of about two to three millimetres per year in three locations: Nova Scotia, Maine and Connecticut. The researchers say that the large rises at these three locations were natural, and …

by Dr. Antero Ollila | Feb 27, 2020 The greenhouse (GH) effect is the IPCC’s basic concept in global warming. The anthropogenic (man-made) global warming theory is based on the enhanced GH effect caused by GH gases. There have been many comments on net pages that how carbon dioxide having only 400 ppm concentration can lead to so much warming as proposed by the IPCC. This story is a piece of simple evidence that it cannot. The basic information about the energy fluxes affecting the GH effect can be found in Figure 1. The radiation fluxes are practically the same …

Principia Scientific by T L Winslow | February 24, 2020 The CO2-driven AGW hoax is being pushed by environmentalists and global communists centered in the U.N. and their politician-run Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It is a global octopus of kept scientists, journalists, and academics in order to frame CO2 emissions as evil to scare the world into surrendering money and power to it to dismantle the fossil fuel industry that underpins capitalism and pave the way for their real goal of global Marxism. Like all Marxists, they offer nothing but the end of all your freedoms so they …

WUWT February 20, 2020 By Ronald Stein Founder and Ambassador for Energy & Infrastructure of PTS Advance, headquartered in Irvine, California China and India are NOT buying into the global alarm movement. Never in human history have we seen two countries (China and India), each with over a billion people, in need of such gargantuan amounts of energy to keep their economies accelerating and their citizens alive. China and India are the two most populous countries in the world. As of 2018, China had almost 1.4 billion people, a figure that is projected to grow to 1.5 billion by 2045. …

WUWT Feb. 19, 2020 By Lord Christopher Monckton of Brenchley Much has been made of the alleged standstill in global CO2 emissions, which are asserted to have been about the same in 2019 as in 2018, at 33.3 gigatonnes of CO2: Obsession over transient phenomena such as this is commonplace among the climate genociders, whose cruel, dangerous and expensive global-warming abatement policies are killing tens of millions annually through the coordinated refusal of most of the world’s leading merchant, central and intergovernmental banks to lend to developing countries to install the one kind of electricity they can afford and can …
