'Climate Change Will Diminish Food Supplies And Drive Up Prices' IPCC Report

Here's a big leak from the IPCC report on climate change. "Climate change will pose sharp risks to the world's food supply in coming decades, potentially undermining crop production and driving up prices at a time when the demand for food is expected to soar, scientists have found. In a departure from an earlier assessment, the scientists concluded that rising temperatures will have some beneficial effects on crops in some places, but that globally they will make it harder for crops to thrive -- perhaps reducing production over all by as much as 2 percent each decade for the rest of this century, compared with what it would be without climate change. The warnings come in a leaked draft of a report under development by a United Nations panel, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The document is not final and could change before it is released in March." Justin Gillis in The New York Times.
