    Ausies find a use for Climate Change!

    Mallee and CP;

    In my Callum Downs newsletter Malcolm had this Interesting tidbit to chew on this week!

    "Climate Change Guess what. Increasing CO2 levels (the
    main driver of climate change) have increased your yield
    potential. CSIRO scientist Dr John Angus has been
    recalibrating his equipment annually since around 1970.
    Over that time CO2 levels have moved from 316 ppm to
    380 ppm. That allows our wheat yields to lift from 20
    kg/mm of available growing season moisture, to 22
    kg/ha/mm of available moisture.

    So, where our April – Oct rainfall at Callum Downs
    averages 363 mm, our potential yield at that average used to
    be 5.053 t/ha. At 22 kg/mm of rainfall, that yield would be
    5.558 t/ha. Basically my yield potential is about 0.5 t/ha
    higher than I thought.
    It is reasonably important, because to get that extra 0.5 t/ha I
    have to supply additional fertiliser if I am pushing the
    system to the point where water and nitrogen are the
    limiting factors."

    I agree with him... more than just zero till, fert placement... C02 is making our yeilds better in low rainfall years!

    Something to think about!

    Tom,the latest study of experts said yes there was warming;.1degree celcius per decade.In other words the scientists themselves say that the globe will warm by 1degree in a century.

    We true Communists believe in using state power to control men for their own good.Look at all the success we had in the last century in remaking human nature!With such grand illusions we can now be greater than nature itself.

    The measure of your value is how little of an environmental'footprint' you leave.Therefore to be truly noble in this new system,you should just die and decay and leave no trace.This is the highest value of cottenpikass et al.

      There is warming.
      There isnt warming.
      There is warming but man didnt create it.
      If there is warming its going to be good.

      Did i miss any of the opinions?
      You guys dont even have a uniform arguement.
      And you are all dead wrong.
      You fell for the disinformation campaign.
      Winwin that makes you a sucksucker.
      Or stupidstupid.

        cotton,

        1. Cut and paste your last post.
        2. Print it.
        3. Get a 6 to 12 year old kid to read it aloud to you.
        4. Ask him, "Tell me something about the guy that wrote that posting".
        5.Learn something from the kid.
