New paper finds climate change benefits Chinese agriculture
A paper published today in Global and Planetary Change predicts climate change will result in a significant increase of productivity for Chinese agriculture. According to the authors, "the annual impact of temperature on net crop revenue per hectare was positive," and "climate change may create a potential advantage for the development of Chinese agriculture, rather than a risk." The paper adds to many other peer-reviewed publications demonstrating that warming increases agricultural productivity.
