Summary: 

The article I chose is about how global warming will effect the production of corn. The hot temperatures caused by global warming will soon reduce corn production by three percent. This will rob Iowa of $259 million dollars per year, and California will lose $4.7 million. Global warming has also been predicted to reduce the amount of other crops produced in the near future. Along with reducing crop growth, global warming has been predicted to increase storms, pollution, weeds, bugs, and diseases.

Why did I chose this article?

I chose this article because I eat vegetables, including corn, very often. I thought it was horrible that so many crops would be lost and that so much money would be thrown down the trash, too. Also I am worried about the upcoming storms, bugs and diseases and I figured the rest of the class should be warned.
