My new book Global Warming and Agriculture uses averages from six climate models and two schools of agricultural-impact models to estimate that in the absence of action, by the 2080s, global warming will reduce agricultural productivity 30% to 40% in India, 15% to 25% in Africa and Latin America, and 20% to 35% in the southern U.S. and Mexico. And if we consider the longer-term catastrophic risks from the runaway greenhouse effect, shutdown of the Gulf Stream and collapse of the West Antarctic ice shelf, curbing carbon dioxide emissions is a small price to pay for insurance...

...Like the U.S., the E.U. is a magnet for migrants, mainly from Asia and Africa. But the Commission wants to manage the process more efficiently. It hopes the Blue Card will help regulate the flow, targeting bright young migrants who could fill job categories where Europe could face chronic shortages over the next few years...
