Food Prices rise due to climate change induced supply shock: Pawar

“IN the last 12 months due to record production of rice over the years, we (India) have already exported about 8 million tonnes of rice. The exports from India has not only stabilized the global supplies but have helped in easing the ruling high prices to affordable levels,” Pawar said.

- Bishop Hill blog - Climate sensitivity and the Stern report

Now the picture seems to look rather less satisfying. We can see that empirical measurement is suggesting a low climate sensitivity with the most likely value at around 1.5°C. Higher values are driven by the modelling studies. Moreover, we can see that large ranges of values of climate sensitivity as implied by the empirical measurements of Forster and Gregory are not covered by the PAGE model at all. The IPCC's suggestion – that climate sensitivity is most likely to be in the range 2–4.5°C – is shown to be barely supportable and then only by favouring computer simulations of the climate over empirical measurements. This seems to me to throw lesson one of the scientific method out of the classroom window. And I really do mean lesson one

What Did Bill Clinton Mean By “We Just Have to Slow Down Our Economy” to Fight Global Warming? - ABC News

[2008] Former President Bill Clinton was in Denver, Colorado, stumping for his wife yesterday.

In a long, and interesting speech, he characterized what the U.S. and other industrialized nations need to do to combat global warming this way: "We just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions ’cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren."

At a time that the nation is worried about a recession is that really the characterization his wife would want him making? "Slow down our economy"?
