Global Warming and Agricultural Production in Brazil

http://www.cnptia.embrapa.br/content/global-warming-and-agricultural-production-brazil.html

In this article it talks about how the climate change will effect Brazil. The article states that with the increase in temperatures throughout Brazil, the lack of crop growth could possibly put food security at risk. This will happen with in the next few years leading up too the year 2020. In that year the losses for grains will be guessed to be $7.4 billion. And up to $14 billion by the year 2070. The only real exception to this is the growth of sugar cane which will prosper.

Although this article was short I did enjoy reading all of Brazil predictions dealing with the crop growth over there for years to come. It made me wonder what our crop predictions are if we have any. It also made me think about weather or not they have any solutions planned to try and fix the problem before it occurs. I'm also very curious in knowing weather or not these predictions will turn out to be true or not. Will global warming really reach and harm Brazil in the coming years as bad as they believe? And what about the US? Will we be effected more or less?

I also believe this is a creditable source do to the fact that the whole site is in Portuguese, besides the article itself, which is the native language spoken in Brazil. I also the URL is not in English so the site must be from another country at least. The site also contains the address, phone number and fax number to get in contact with the site owners/ publishers I do believe.
