Since warmist Ben Jervey argues that global warming *is* our bad weather, shouldn't we also credit global warming for our good weather, and with its manifestations like record corn crops in Brazil, Minnesota and North Carolina?

Ben Jervey | Bloomberg Businessweek Gets It Right: Sandy Wasn't "Caused" By Climate Change - It IS Global Warming
It is global warming: We know for a fact that greenhouse gases from human activities have warmed the air and the oceans. We know for a fact that every aspect of weather is a result of climate conditions.  It is impossible to say that Hurricane Sandy would have formed in any other climate than the one that humans have influenced.
[So we also need to say that global warming "caused" this, am I right?]: Oct. 2012: Minnesota projected to harvest record corn crop - Yahoo! Finance
Minnesota farmers expect to harvest a record 1.39 billion bushels of corn, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's estimates released Thursday. That's up 15 percent from 2011, which was hampered by a cold, wet spring and early frost. That would beat the state record of 1.29 billion bushels in 2010.

Ron Heiniger: Well its big, I'm six foot one and it would take two of me and a little bit more, probably about 14 foot tall is a lot of this corn...Heiniger says yields could hit three-hundred bushels per acre and that's twice the average.
