Per a MT News Release:
A MIT study concludes that increasing levels of ozone due to the growing use of fossil fuels will damage global vegetation, resulting in serious costs to the world's economy.
The analysis, reported in the November issue of Energy Policy, focused on how three environmental changes (increases in temperature, carbon dioxide and ozone) associated with human activity will affect crops, pastures and forests.
The research shows that increases in temperature and in carbon dioxide may actually benefit vegetation, especially in northern temperate regions. However, those benefits may be more than offset by the detrimental effects of increases in ozone, notably on crops. Ozone is a form of oxygen that is an atmospheric pollutant at ground level.
The economic cost of the damage will be moderated by changes in land use and by agricultural trade, with some regions more able to adapt than others. But the overall economic consequences will be considerable. According to the analysis, if nothing is done, by 2100 the global value of crop production will fall by 10 to 12 percent. . . . More
How about you give the full headline.
Human-Generated Ozone Could Cut Global Crop Yields by Nearly 40% by 2100
"More than 10%" is just making a headline out of the lowball estimate.

“Could reduce production by more than 10 percent by 2100”
This what the headline says over at the MIT press. I have a different headline, “Eggheads fail to notice that ozone in trending down since clean air act”
I can not predict what kind of improvements we will make in air quality in the next 80 years, but let me low ball it for GreyFlcn, good trending towards predestine. Oh wait, that already describes 80% of US air quality.
Wait for it!!! Someone for the EU tell us how polluted the US is.

who gives a crap, even in the worst case it will only be the poor people in places like Africa that will suffer the most. In kenya people go hungry if Maize goes up 2 or 3 shillings per KG (4 cents), but here, if bread was suddenly 4 or 5 dollars, big whoop. I'll just eat fewer sandwiches. Moral: 1st world messes up 3rd world. Rich oppress poor. That old chestnut.

Ozone is form of oxygen. It is invrease more and more due to increase in temprature and co2. Moreover Without growing fuel combustion worldwide will push global average ozone up 50 percent by 2100. So this will be dangerous for production business. Thanks for this post.

In fairness, the chances of this research being quoted in 2100 is pretty slim!

We all have the responsibility to save our environment and the only planet that man can survive. If we continue not to care, this earth will never have life in 20 or so years from now. That's pretty scary but true.

This only means that we shouldn't be too complacent about the modern world and all the material things and abundance of food that we experience today. They all have their own end and we have to prolong their stay here on earth so life will continue to exist.

There are so much we could do to save the environment and yet we're not doing anything. We keep on passing the responsibility to others while exempting ourselves with it. We should start to care.

There are still good things we could do to save our only living planet. If we try to contribute even in our own little ways then we could save it from being non-existent.
