Michael Coffman -- Chicken Little, Half Truths and the Loss of Freedom
There is another problem with this alarmist cataclysmic warming/melting hyperbole. Research published this past year reveals that the ocean warming is likely due to volcanic activity, not global warming. In January 2008 one volcano was even found to be actively warming the underside of the glaciers overlaying it, causing them to melt from the bottom up and advance much faster than would otherwise be expected. Also not reported is the fact that some 3,000 scientific temperature measuring robots plying the oceans have found that earth’s oceans are cooling, not warming, as the man-caused global warming theory demands. Of course, none of this is ever reported by the media or acknowledged by the alarmist scientists. So, there is no way the average reader/viewer can put the issue into context.
Kansas: Alarmist USDA Scientist weighs in
Global climate change will have an impact on weed and insect populations and will prompt changes in planting dates, he said.

Hatfield acknowledged that corn yields have generally been increasing in recent years. He said he believes, however, that they will start leveling off within five to 10 years because of the growth-affecting impacts of increasing temperatures and the related variability in precipitation.
