Brits Ready Crops For Global Warming

Anonymous Coward writes "Not wanting to come up short at the dinner table, British researchers are developing new crops for a dryer, hotter UK. Starting with barley, they're turning genes on and off to help plants overcome their affinity for the country's cool, wet summers."

Amen- the truth is, nobody knows what will happen (or if we will see any drastic climate changes at all). Hell, when the local weather guy is incapable of even looking out the window and telling people whether or not it's raining right now, how is the general public supposed to put much stock in any "prediction" or "climate forecast" that anyone comes up with? In reality, these are all just guesses, and in most cases, they are guesses based on assumptions based on guesses about how different elements of the ecosystem and atmosphere interact to affect weather and climate. Until someone actually collects sufficient data to come up with a testable and provable hypothesis, I'll just file all of this under "FUD"
