Is Global Warming Real?
I gave this homework assignment to my Agroclimatology class today. Perhaps you would like to try it?
Homework Problem: Do you believe that global warming is real?

A New Climate Science Resource from the National Academies
The National Academies, the nation’s preeminent independent scientific advisory body, has released a series of videos building on themes laid out in its America’s Climate Choices reports over the past couple of years. Above, you can watch the material as a single long video. Below you can find links to seven themed sections:
There’s plenty more on Dot Earth related to these reports. And of course there’s plenty here on the basic science pointing to a rising human influence on the climate system.
Global food crisis looms as grain prices soar
SEGURIDAD ALIMENTARIA
SEGURIDAD ALIMENTARIA by Dra. Gladys M. González Martínez
This article by Dra. González (page 103) is excellent. Although she speaks in general terms about food security, she provides a detailed analysis of the situation in Puerto Rico.

González provides it in this paper along with other critically important data about our agriculture and food security.
