SocraticGadfly: Global warming cuts crop production

Global warming cuts crop production

So much for the Green Revolution touted by cornucopian heirs to Julian Simon.

Over the last 30 years, global wheat and corn production is off almost 5 percent.

The study also claims the U.S. hasn't warmed during that time, something I would like to see get more study, since that, the claim U.S. crops haven't declined, the overall claims, and the global warming link are all based on computer modeling. Also, how much is due to global warming, and how much due to other anthropogenic induced change, like rainfall pattern differences?
