Telegraph Cereal Harvest Lies

From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

Meanwhile climate change is also being blamed for the poor cereal harvest in the UK this year, which the useless Telegraph headline calls the “second worst on record”.

Needless to say, it is nothing of the sort, it is only the lowest since 2020:

Cereal production was obviously badly hit by the wet autumn last year, which made seeding difficult in many places.

But poor harvests do happen in the UK from time to time because of bad weather. The drought in 1976, for instance, or the wet summers in 2007 and 2012.

There was also another extremely low harvest in 2001, which as this year’s was caused by the wet autumn the year before.

There is of course no evidence that autumns have been getting wetter

The Telegraph also report claims by Tom Lancaster of the ECIU that:

“This year’s harvest was a shocker, and climate change is to blame. “

No, Tom, climate change is not to blame, as you must know.

And the chart of cereal output is proof that cereal output has been extremely stable since the 1980s, despite occasional blips. Your scaremongering about climate change is baseless.
