- Carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases act like a blanket, absorbing IR radiation (longwave) and preventing it from escaping into outer space. The net effect is the gradual heating of Earth's atmosphere and surface, a process known as global warming. Solar energy enters as shortwave (UV and visible light). Earth re-emits energy as longwave radiation in the form of infrared rays. Figure b1. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, including water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, absorb heat energy and emit it in all directions (including downwards), keeping Earth’s surface and lower atmosphere warm. Adding more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere enhances the effect, making Earth’s surface and lower atmosphere even warmer. Image based on a figure from US EPA.

- emperature histories from paleoclimate data (green line) compared to the history based on modern instruments (blue line) suggest that global temperature is warmer now than it has been in the past 1,000 years, and possibly longer. (Graph adapted from Mann et al., 2008.)
- Global temperature change (mean and one standard deviation as shading) relative to 1986–2005 for the SRES scenarios run by CMIP3 and the RCP scenarios run by CMIP5. The number of models is given in brackets. The box plots (mean, one standard deviation, and minimum to maximum range) are given for 2080–2099 for CMIP5 (colours) and for the MAGICC model calibrated to 19 CMIP3 models (black), both running the RCP scenarios.

- The initial causes of the late-2006 price spikes included droughts in grain-producing nations and rising oil prices.[6] Oil price increases also caused general escalations in the costs of fertilizers, food transportation, and industrial agriculture. Root causes may be the increasing use of biofuels in developed countries (see also food vs fuel),[7] and an increasing demand for a more varied diet across the expanding middle-class populations of Asia.[8][9]The Food and Agriculture Organization also raised concerns about the role of hedge funds speculating on prices leading to major shifts in prices.[10] These factors, coupled with falling world-food stockpiles, all contributed to the worldwide rise in food prices (CNN) -- Riots from Haiti to Bangladesh to Egypt over the soaring costs of basic foods have brought the April 2008 CNN: issue to a boiling point and catapulted it to the forefront of the world's attention, the head of an agency focused on global development said Monday.

- #5 in world wheat production (in 2017) 42 to 29Mt drop China, India, Russia, USA The drop in French production comes at a period of high output in other wheat-producing countries, which has led to a fall in world prices; prices are at rock bottom as harvests have been very good elsewhere, notably in Ukraine, Romania and Russia,” Ben-Ari paper mention soil-born disseases, leave fungal diseases and viruses but nothing specific
