Texas was a huge wheat state until the dust bowl. They were producing 12m bushels until the soil blew away. The wheat probably caused it when you get down to it.

The crops either survived warm periods, or they where recently engineered for current conditions. As long as the conditions don't change to fast they will adjust or can be adjusted. Well, Tim, the reason is that the feedback is overwhelmingly positive. That's a rather questionable statement. Why the focus on Gore? Because he's prominent and because many people pushing very expensive action against global warming believe his disaster scenarios are likely. Because such extreme scenarios are what I'm arguing against, not "the Earth will be slightly warmer and water levels will rise by a centimeter".
