1/5. I trust that it is obvious to you that the most important effects of climate change are on agriculture. Right?
So if you really want to read the best relevant scholarly literature, you should start with agronomy papers. Agronomy is a much older, more rigorous, and less politicized field than "climate science," and it's the field which studies the effects of CO2 and climate change on agriculture.

Here are "cereal crops" (wheat, corn, rice, etc.), averaged:

2/5. For instance, here's a paper about wheat:
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11 Fitzgerald GJ, et al. (2016) Elevated atmospheric CO2 can dramatically increase wheat yields in semi-arid environments and buffer against heat waves. Glob Chang Biol. 22(6):2269-84. doi:10.1111/gcb.13263.
![Wheat production will be impacted by increasing concentration of atmospheric CO2 [CO2], which is expected to rise from about 400 μmol mol−1 in 2015 to 550 μmol mol−1 by 2050. Changes to plant...](https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/1822606282261438464/Td--IUii?format=jpg&name=420x420_2)
3/5. That doesn't even take into account the direct benefits of fossil fuels.

1/26》Cornel West @Cornel West, abundant, affordable energy from fossil fuels has been lifting people out of poverty for >200 years, but the Climate Industry is reversing that progress. Do you care how many people suffer to promote the climate scam?

4/5. Here are a few additional papers... going back over a century!

That's right: among agronomists, the fact that elevated CO2 is highly beneficial for crops has been settled science for >100 years.

lol meanwhile in reality, I read the actual primary literature because I don’t need msm for info…
5/5. To understand a contentious, politicized issue like #ClimateChange, you need balanced information. I'm here to help:
sealevel.info/learnmore.html
That page has:
● accurate introductory climatology information
● in-depth science from BOTH skeptics & alarmists
● links to balanced debates between experts on BOTH sides
● accurate information about impacts of CO2 & climate change, such as the effects on crop yields
● links to the best blogs on BOTH sides of the climate debate
