The scope
of this chapter, with a focus on food crops, pastures and livestock, industrial crops and biofuels, forestry (commercial forests), aquaculture and fisheries, and small - holder and subsistence agriculturalists and artisanal fishers, is to: examine current

climate,
global and

impacts of climate change in food crops pasture and livestock production, industrial crops and biofuels, forestry, fisheries, and small - holder and subsistence agriculture; assess the effectiveness

However, for
regional downscaling (and

You may wonder why the government finds the need to pursue such action since 1) U.S. carbon dioxide emissions have already topped out and have generally been on the decline for the past 7 - 8 years or so (from technological advances in natural gas extraction and a slow economy more so than from already - enacted government regulations and subsidies); 2) greenhouse gases from the rest
of the world (primarily driven by China) have been sky - rocketing over the same period, which lessens any
impacts that our emissions reduction have); and 3) even in their totality, U.S. carbon dioxide emissions have a negligible influence on local /
regional /
global climate change (even a immediate and permanent cessation
of all our carbon dioxide emissions would likely result in a mitigation
of global temperature rise
of less than one - quarter
of a degree C by the end
of the century).

of climate change are truly
global, even dedicated action at the
