More breathtaking stupidity from warmist Gwynne Dyer: Now he suggests that trace amounts of CO2 may cause 500,000,000 Indians to starve

timestranscript.com - Durban climate summit: a global suicide pact?

Three years ago, while I was interviewing the director of a think tank in New Delhi, she suddenly dropped a bomb into the conversation. Her institute had been asked by the World Bank to figure out how much food production India would lose when the average global temperature was two degrees C higher, she said - and the answer was 25 per cent.

This study, like similar ones that the Bank commissioned in other major countries, has never been published, presumably because the governments of those countries put huge pressure on the Bank to keep the numbers secret. But the Indian government undoubtedly knows the truth.

A 25 per cent loss of food production would be an almost measureless calamity for India. It now produces just enough food to feed its 1.1 billion people. If the population rises by the forecast quarter-billion in the next 20 years, and meanwhile its food production falls by 25 per cent due to global warming, half a billion Indians will starve.
