BBC FALSELY Claim Climate Change Is Cutting Crop Yields In Africa

AUGUST 23, 2017

More lies from the BBC Today programme.

At about 44 minutes in, a fairly sensible report from Kenya about improving agriculture methods is introduced with this shameless comment:

Climate change is cutting crop yields [in Africa]



The data from the UN FAOSTAT shows the opposite to be true:

In Kenya itself, the value of agricultural production has been at record high levels for the last two years:



Of course, these drastic increases in agricultural productivity are due to a number of factors, and trying to unravel a climate signal is well nigh impossible. Not that that will stop grant addicted climate scientists making up their own fake evidence.

One is entitled to wonder why the BBC thought it appropriate to even make the comment they did, instead of giving their listeners the actual facts?
