Minnesota farming: Lack of global warming means that a lot more fossil fuel will be burned
Cold temperatures also resulted in poor field dry down for corn.[But they're not even climatologists!]: Utah docs say climate change is No. 1 health threat - Salt Lake Tribune
Hoverstad said corn samples from full-season corn planted in late April to mid-May remained at 30-32 percent moisture on Oct. 15. Late planted corn had even higher moisture rates.
In mid-October 2008, Minnesota farmers harvested less than 20 percent moisture corn.
“Some warm weather will be necessary for corn to dry down, but the later we go in October, the likelihood of warm temperatures decreases,” said Hoverstad. “It looks like grain dryers running into the night will be common across the countryside this fall.”
A group of doctors called Thursday for Utahns and their leaders to take dramatic and immediate steps to address climate change, calling it "the greatest public health threat of the 21st century."Mr. Obama, be tough on climate change - Globe-trotting alarmist Bill McKibben - The Boston Globe

"We cannot think of a more important scientific concept for our children to understand," said Howie Garber, a Salt Lake City physician who outlined the group's goals.
Garber used a metaphor as the Earth as a home filled with heavy smokers.
"[W]e have been lighting the cigarettes," he said. "We must open the windows, put away the ash trays, hide the matches and stop supplying the cigarettes."
Physics and chemistry have already announced their bottom line. In the last two years a slew of research [can we see a list of the alleged papers in question?] has shown that the most carbon we can safely have in the atmosphere is 350 parts per million - indeed, a NASA team said that above that figure we can’t have “a planet similar to the one on which civilization developed or to which life on earth is adapted.’’
