A Warming Climate Brings New Crops to Frigid Zones

Well, name it.
Once again the answer is in the OP.
That's two questions asked in two different threads where you put your false teeth in where your reading glasses belong.
Resign. You are embarrassing your side and self and your gray matter is now down under 5%.
I may have to put you on ignore due to your witlessness.
You never post any Info or OPs anyway. Just goofy hostile baits and cheerleading one side.
You are a ZERO when it comes to making or refuting any point.

No, opinion is in the OP. The facts are the Canadians were beginning to expand their corn acreage in 2013 thanks to early maturing hybrid corn strains. Had nothing to do with the so called early warming.

Had EVERYTHING to do with GMO corn.

DURRRRRR

Wrong and again willfully/politically blind.
Tho you now have figured out the 'region' you somehow missed! (that was really spectacular blindness or willful denial)
The article points out it is 3.6° Warmer since 1950, and the season longer.
That's a very big difference in.... Climate... in 68 years.
byeee.

No, they claim the growing season is longer. The GMO corn is what has made the corn crop viable.

That is factual.

You have made so many simple and stupid errors in this current loss.
But typical.

Proxy data has its place ... generally not as accurate and subject to interpretation ... but then again NOAA's not using anything better than Walmart thermometers anyway ... this 1ºC temperature change over 140 years is at the limit of instrument error ...

Farmers and pilots just need a rough idea of temperature ... ± 0.5ºC is perfectly fine for them ... we can see that much temperature difference in a mile ... or less ...

A Warming Climate Brings New Crops to Frigid Zones
Longer growing seasons help lead northern farmers to plow up forests for crops such as corn that were once hard to grow in chilly territories

A Warming Climate Brings New Crops to Frigid Zones

LA CRETE, Alberta—The farm belt is marching northward.


Upper Alberta is bitter cold much of the year, and remote. Not much grows other than the spruce and poplar that spread out a hundred miles around Highway 88 north toward La Crete. Signs warn drivers to watch for moose and make sure their gas tanks are filled. Farms have produced mostly wheat, canola and barley. Summers were so short farmer Dicky Driedger used to tease his wife about wasting garden space growing corn.

Today, Mr. Driedger is the one growing corn. So are many other northern-Alberta farmers who are plowing up forests to create fields, which lets them grow still more of it. The new prospect of warmer-weather crops is helping lift farmland prices, with an acre near La Crete selling for nearly five times what it fetched 10 years ago.

One reason is the warming planet and longer growing seasons. Temperatures around La Crete are 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit warmer on average annually than in 1950, Canadian federal climate records show, and the growing season is nearly two weeks longer.

“A few degrees doesn’t sound like much,” said Mr. Driedger, 56, who has farmed for three decades in the area roughly as far north as Juneau, Alaska. “Maybe it doesn’t make such a big difference on wheat or canola, but on corn, it sure does.” In August, he watched a tractor-size tiller yank tree roots from the earth, which were to be piled up and ignited in giant bonfires to create new fields.

I thought the planet isn't actually warming.

And yet the planet's present temperature is 2C cooler than previous interglacial periods with 120 ppm more atmospheric CO2.
 
The takeaway is that the planet is still in the normal range of an interglacial period.
That was a quick switcheroo. You've been repeating that fucking mantra for months as "proof" that CO2 doesn't warm the planet or that (somehow) it proves that water vapor is not a positive feedback to warming. Now it's just normal variation? Are you dropping all your other claims? Do you accept the greenhouse effect? Do you accept that water vapor provides a positive feedback to warming? Do you accept equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) is likely in the range 2.5°C to 4.0°C, and very likely between 2.0°C and 5.0°C?

No switcheroo at all. Climate fluctuations and environmental uncertainty are hallmarks of our bipolar glaciated world. Just look at the oxygen isotope curve which is the temperature record of the planet. Water vapor plays a part in the natural climate variability just as the landmass and ocean configurations do. You can easily see the temperature range the planet fluctuates between on the oxygen isotope curve.
 
Vikings were farming the Southern Tip of Greenland until the 1400s.

Now that farmland is buried under 600 annual ice layers...

"Global" "warming" somehow missed Greenland...
 
Canada and Siberia will be world wide powerhouses of food production.

Gee, I Never thought of that.
Are you guys now admitting it's warming/AGW/Climate change?
(but forgetting Sea Level Rise)
You can now debate those Many who say it's Not warming. (your previous positions)
