@TIME 1/9γ@arynebaker & @TIME, please stop regurgitating climate industry propaganda like this. Their claim that southern Madagascar's famine is caused by manmade climate change is brazenly dishonest, and has no scientific basis.
@TIME @arynebaker 2/9γJust 40 years ago Madagascar (and much of the rest of Africa!) had a MUCH worse drought & famine. THe average atmospheric CO2 level then only 340 ppmv. What do you think caused that one?

@TIME @arynebaker 3/9γDo you understand graphs? You can't blame droughts on anthropogenic climate change if you understand graphs like these:
@TIME @arynebaker 4/9γIt's hard to convince people of the lie that rising CO2 levels threaten food security if they know anything about agronomy, because agronomists know that elevated CO2 helps mitigate drought impacts.
@TIME @arynebaker 5/9γHere's why other parts of the world have surplus food that they can send to southern Madagascar, in their time of need:
@TIME @arynebaker 6/9γThe benefits of elevated CO2 for crops is long-settled science. Those benefits have been documented and measured by thousands of robust scientific studies.

@TIME @arynebaker 7/9γThe fact that CO2 is very good for crops have been known to science for over a century. Here's a Scientific American article about it from 1920:

@TIME @arynebaker 8/9γIt is hard to dupe people into blaming famines on CO2 emissions if they're old enough to remember when major famines were often in the news, in places like Africa and Bangladesh, or if they understand graphs like this one:
