Study: Crop relocation can help buffer US agriculture from climate change but southern states may face massive loss of productive land

Green Car Congress

OCTOBER 5, 2020

Projected extreme temperatures under climate change are predicted to reduce average yields for several of the United States’ major crops. The extent of these regional changes in agricultural productivity and how they influence future cropping decisions is a central question for the risks of climate change for agriculture and food security.

A study by a team of researchers from China and the US has shown that shipping emissions in East Asia accounted for 16% of global shipping CO 2 in 2013, compared to only 4–7% in 2002–2005. However, the climate and air quality impacts from shipping are not well understood in this region.

Jacobson first showed in 2000 that black carbon was the second-leading cause of global warming after carbon dioxide in terms of radiative forcing and, in 2002, that its control was the most effective method of slowing warming. Immediate GHG control is still absolutely necessary to stem short and long-term climate damage. Mark Jacobson.
