[The SPPI Blog] Things More Worrisome than AGW: various ... - The SPPI Blog: . There is no suggestion that autonomous adaptations due to advances in adaptive capacity are included in the estimates for the baseline scenario. Unmitigated climate change is projected to decrease yields of maize, wheat and rice by 3-7% in mid- to high-latitude areas in 2100, and 10-35% in low latitude areas (based on visual inspection of the graph provided). Under an adaptation scenario, yields would increase by 2-10% in the former regions, but would still be 5-15% below the no-climate-change case in low latitude areas. Under the mitigation-but-no-adaptation scenario, yields would be a little bit worse for mid- to high-latitude regions but better for the low latitude regions. Finally, with both adaptation and mitigation, yields would be higher in all regions (relative to the no-climate-change case).
