The following quote was found in an article on this very same website, not one month later:
"The study pointed out that the United States could experience some economic boosts from cereal crop yields that are expected to rise by as much as 20 percent."
So, what's the deal? Is global warming going to hurt the crops or help the crops?
Is it any wonder there are skeptics?

Joe Murphy, Dave Cavena:
First, the "ice age" view in the 70s was a minority view. My geoscience textbook from the 70s mentions global warming as a more likely possibility (since it was moving faster and would overtake the plodding trend to an ice age that would *otherwise* have time to form. Now it's likely too late for a natural cooling trend to give some relief from GW.
As for the sunspots etc: Yes, you may be right, but ironically that doesn't disprove the warming effect of CO2! It just means that something else might compensate in the other direction, and even then temporarily because such solar cycles don't last. If we're lucky, the solar cooling effect will be just about enough to make up for the warming effect of the CO2 and give us breathing space to make long-term structural changes before things get very difficult.

Looking as I do to UNS&WR for good reporting rather than scare-mongering, it is disappointing to read these articles on anthropogenic warming.
The earth has been cooling since 1998. Current sunspot activity is the lowest since 1790 - and that resulted in decades of extreme cold - including the winter of 1812 that defeated Napoleon in Russia. Last year the planet cooled faster (0.7 deg C) than in any year in recorded history. The heads of many institutions - including the head of meteorology @ MIT - dismiss current climate change theories as ignorant. The IPCC report does not validate the summary - written by politicians, not climatologists. Hundreds of climatologists have pointed this out in a letter to the IPCC.
(see: http://inthisdimension.com/2008/05/27/cap-and-spend/ for details and links)
The facts are that the planet is cooling, and that leading scientists disdain Mr Gore and his alarmism.
It would be nice to read facts, science and a diversity of opinion in your magazine. Jumping on a climate-change wagon driven by ignorant drivers does neither your reputation nor your readership any favors.

Agriculture is a primary sector and every country needs to give importance to it, but this centuries old profession is being deserted by many in favor of service sector which is paying high.
UN needs to bring all countries to table to discuss the issue in length and breadth. The citizens of planet earth needs to understand that we all are one creature and no tussles and fights will improve our lives.
Every country has its own enrichment and UN needs to encourage every citizen of this world to contribute to problems anywhere in the earth.
