The Great Beyond: Nature Climate Change [Hoax] ready for launch

Nature Climate Change, the latest addition to the Nature branch of science journals, has made its debut in publishing original research with an online paper on climate impacts on African maize yields.

The study, by David Lobell of Stanford University in California and scientists with the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in Mexico, finds that 1°C of warming would result in yield losses for 65% of the current maize-growing region in Africa. Under drought conditions, 100% of the currently cultivated area would experience yield losses, with 75% of this area suffering losses of at least 20%.
