Moroccan Crops defy IPCC report predictions

Here’s the source….African crops yield another catastrophe for the IPCC

It seems that in their haste to create the climate “crisis” that we have spoken of here before, the climate fear-mongers at the IPCC, notably their head fear-monger, Dr Rajendra Pachauri, have taken the answer to a purely hypothetical question put to the Moroccan government, and put it out there as the certain future.

The big “if” of the hypothetical was a drought. “IF” there was a drought, what would happen to the crops? Well, “if” there was a drought then there would be a 50% drop in crop yields. A pretty straightforward and reasonable answer to the hypothetical question.

Here’s the text of the article;

The origin of this claim was a report written for a Canadian advocacy group by Ali Agoumi, a Moroccan academic who draws part of his current income from advising on how to make applications for “carbon credits”. As his primary sources he cited reports for three North African governments. But none of these remotely supported what he wrote. The nearest any got to providing evidence for his claim was one for the Moroccan government, which said that in serious drought years, cereal yields might be reduced by 50 per cent. The report for the Algerian government, on the other hand, predicted that, on current projections, “agricultural production will more than double by 2020″. Yet it was Agoumi’s claim that climate change could cut yields by 50 per cent that was headlined in the IPCC’s Working Group II report in 2007.

What does that say? It says simply that if there is a drought there will be a 50% crop failure, but note that it doesn’t say anything about whether there will be drought and if there is whether it will be because of AGW (man-made global warming). No, that is the pre-existing template of the IPCC.

The response from the Moroccan government is not a prediction of a drought nor a AGW based statement of likely events. It is merely an answer to a hypthetical question. Yet the fear-mongering extortionists have been peddling this as a fact ever since, most especially Dr. Pachauri himself.

He has had to back-pedal on the Himalayan glaciers recently because that part of the IPCC report was just someone’s speculation.

When are the great political brain trusts in North America going to finally realize what an extortion scam this really is?
