TL;DR: In 1990, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) completed its report on the greenhouse effect and concluded that greenhouse gas-induced changes of climate would have an important effect on agriculture, with the most severe negative impacts probably occurring in regions of high present-day vulnerability that are least able to adjust technologically to such effects.

Abstract: In 1990 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) completed its report on the greenhouse effect. The IPCC had been set up under the auspices of the World Meteorological Organisation and the United Nations Environment Programme, to examine how climate and sea level might change, what might be the impact of these changes and what could be the most appropriate response to them. IPCC Working Groups tackled each of these three tasks. Working Group II (Impacts) concluded that greenhouse gas-induced changes of climate would have an important effect on agriculture, with the most severe negative impacts probably occurring in regions of high present-day vulnerability that are least able to adjust technologically to such effects. 1 The purpose of this book is to consider, in more detail than could be covered within the confines of the IPCC report on agriculture, the reasoning behind this conclusion, its implications for global food security and the most appropriate courses of action.

Global Warming and the Future of the Earth
Robert G. Watts
- 01 Jan 2007
TL;DR: The book begins with the important distinction between weather and climate, followed by data showing how carbon dioxide has increased and the incontrovertible evidence that it is caused by burning fossil fuels, and addresses the inevitable skepticism that global warming arouses.

TL;DR: This article explored the transcriptome data of wild Arachis species subjected to drought and root-knot nematode Meloidogyne arenaria via meta-analysis, identifying core-stress responsive genes to each individual and concurrent stresses in these species.

TL;DR: In this article, models from atmospheric science, plant science, and agricultural economics are linked to explore the sensitivity of agricultural productivity to global climate change, and the simulation suggests that irrigated acreage will expand and regional patterns of U.S. agriculture will shift.
