Study: Climate change increases chance slowdown in yields

Des Moines Register: The odds of a major production slowdown of corn and wheat are as much as 20 times greater with climate change, according to researchers at Stanford University and the National Center for Atmospheric Research. The authors used global climate computer models, along with data about weather and crops, to calculate the chances that climatic trends would slow the growth in yields by 10 percent during the next 20 years. The result, researchers found, would mean yields would grow about half as quickly as...

Climate Change A Greater Threat To Global Food Production Than Previously Thought: MIT Researchers
2014-07-28 18:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Business Times: Climate change could pose an even greater threat to global food production than previously thought, according to new research. Rising temperatures will not only damage heat-sensitive crops theyll also increase toxic air pollution, which will harm crops even further. The study, out this week in the journal Nature Climate Change, is the first to explore how this interaction between warming temperatures and air pollution affects staple crops. Scientists have long known that the two can independently...
Study: climate change affecting fur seals in Antarctica

Blue and Green: Warming climate impacting on krill population seals primary food sources is leading to animals being born smaller and females breeding later than usual, according to new research. In a study published in the journal Nature, scientists have suggested that changes in the availability of krill small crustaceans depending on sea ice have caused Antarctic fur seals from South Georgia to become food-stressed. This has meant pups being born with 8% less body mass and females breeding later...

Climate change may slowdown crop yield, study finds
2014-07-27 11:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Climate change makes 20 times more likely for corn and wheat crop production to decrease, significantly affecting food prices and availability in the long-term, according to a new study. Scientist from Stanford University and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) have said in a new study that although a massive and severe crop production slowdown is unlikely, global warming increase the risk of losses by 20 times. There is therefore a substantial risk of decreasing production of wheat...

Study: Climate change to slowdown growth of global crop yields
2014-07-26 15:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Medical news: The world faces a small but substantially increased risk over the next two decades of a major slowdown in the growth of global crop yields because of climate change, new research finds. The authors, from Stanford University and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), say the odds of a major production slowdown of wheat and corn even with a warming climate are not very high. But the risk is about 20 times more significant than it would be without global warming, and it may require planning...
