"(Those farms) are really good in terms of producing high yields in stable climates, but maybe they're more vulnerable to weather shocks," said Navin Ramankutty of the University of British Columbia, co-author of a paper published Wednesday in the journal Nature.

But new research suggests that climate change is happening faster than it has at any other time in our planet`s history - and scientists are worried. Scientists at the University of Bristol recently took a closer look at past periods of climate change in an effort to compare them with what`s happening today, and to investigate whether Earth has ever...
