manxchatterbox Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 have any IOM farmers thought about preparing for climate change by planting 'exotic' crops that aren't usually found so far north....such as olives etc ...? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive Drastic changes in Europe A recent report from the University of East Anglia for the European Union said that Europe could expect drastic climate changes by 2100. Many farmers in Europe may have to rethink what crops to grow But apart from trying to reverse them, it said, Europe could to some degree learn to adapt. The report's editor, Professor Martin Parry, of the Jackson Environment Institute at the university, said climate change was already measurable, and the extra greenhouse gases in the atmosphere would usher in a warmer, stormier world.
