Quote:The global climate model is off because it does not account for agriculture, which is a "mitigating effect" to greenhouse gas emissions. I guess you're free to believe that regional climate is somehow isolated from the global system. Magical thinking, but you're prerogative.
The global model didn't match the regional climate of agricultural areas. That doesn't mean it's off. Global warming is a fact of science supported by tons of evidence. Evidently agricultural cooling isn't enough to counteract it.
"But he warns that such benefits may not last if greenhouse gas emissions eventually overpower the mitigating effect of agriculture."
