UK Met Office Once Again Promoting Global Warming and GM Crops

Rising temperatures could mean events such as the drought in Russia this summer, which pushed up grain prices, hit countries like the UK.

But they said the worst effects of climate change could be limited by investment in better farming and the development of new drought resistant or heat tolerant crops. This could be done by aid money, breeding and new technologies like genetic modification (GM).

In a study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, the scientists warned that rising temperatures would make crops mature more quickly, reducing their yield, while extreme temperatures could also significantly reduce yields.'
