Crop yields down. Yes, seriously.

All you've shown is that we're growing more corn - which should be no surprise to anyone given how it's used in all our first-world processed junk food, and now we're even using it to fuel our cars. And the US has been subsidizing the hell out of it.

Suggesting that global warming could be a net positive for global crop yields flies in the face of all research to date:

This is one of the biggest problems global warming is bringing with it, I don't know how you'd missed it.

We don't have to choose between more heat and an ice age, and while you might think a warmer climate might be nice in your particular area, there is literally a world of negative side effects that would come with it which you would likely find to be the less desirable option. There's nothing nice about global warming. Crop yields down, nasty weather up...lots of info is available if you wish to seek it out (protip: avoid the conspiracy blog echo chamber).

Exactly.

But in the mind of libertarian nutball Cody Wilson, lawmakers will just say "Welp, he beat us, time to pack up and go home, I'll see if I can charter an APC for us since it's gonna be like Somalia out there. This is the worst day since the basic theoretical disproof and repeated cracks of DRM made us give up on digital copyright issues."

My BS meter is immediately going off because:

- It's a story about how crazy the Chinese government is, this topic is prime BS news breeding ground
- It's a little too good to be true
- Many sources have deleted the news, current source is "Agencies."

I fully expect to get the full story in the next Cracked.com BS news roundup.
