Climate science» as it is used by warmists implies adherence to a set of beliefs: (1) Increasing greenhouse gas concentrations will warm the Earth's surface and atmosphere; (2) Human production of CO2 is producing significant increases in CO2 concentration; (3) The rate of rise of temperature in the 20th and 21st centuries is unprecedented compared to the rates of change of temperature in the previous two millennia and this can only be due to rising greenhouse gas concentrations; (4) The climate of the 19th century was ideal and may be taken as a standard to compare against any current climate; (5) global climate models, while still not perfect, are good enough to indicate that continued use of fossil fuels at projected rates in the 21st century will cause the CO2 concentration to rise to a high level by 2100 (possibly 700 to 900 ppm); (6) The global average temperature under this condition will rise more than 3 °C from the late 19th century ideal; (7) The negative impact on humanity of such a rise will be enormous; (8) The only alternative to such a disaster is to immediately and sharply reduce CO2 emissions (reducing emissions in 2050 by 80 % compared to today's rate) and continue further reductions after 2050; (9) Even with such draconian CO2 reductions, the CO2 concentration is likely to reach at least 450 to 500 ppm by 2100 resulting in significant damage to humanity; (10) Such reductions in CO2 emissions are technically feasible and economically affordable while providing adequate energy to a growing world population that is increasingly industria

growing pressure on food security, traditional nomadic herding and water supplies as a result of the impacts of
climate change,» said UN
Under - Secretary - General and UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner.
Although our study confirms a benefit of ongoing
climate change on plant
growing conditions at higher latitudes because of fewer freezing days, this considerably underestimates the full extent of consequences of projected
climate changes, particularly
under business - as - usual projections.
If
climate change were to continue
under this scenario, ~ 3,400 million people will live in countries facing reductions of 30 % or more suitable plant
growing days; of those people, ~ 2,900 million are highly dependent on plant - related goods and services, and ~ 2,100 million of those are in low - income countries (S3 Table).
Some examples thereof follow, and then it states: «However, not all
changes in
climate and
climate variability will be negative, as agriculture and the
growing seasons in certain areas (for example, parts of the Ethiopian highlands and parts of southern Africa such as Mozambique), may lengthen
under climate change, due to a combination of increased temperature and rainfall
changes (Thornton et al., 2006).
