Media gets global warming wrong when it tries to tie it to Central American migration

Washington Examiner:

The New York Times has published a misleading article claiming global warming is largely responsible for unauthorized immigrants entering the U.S. from Central America. The article, titled “A Warming World Creates Desperate People,” alleges global warming is causing crop failures in Central America, which in turn has forced people to flee north to the U.S. In reality, global and Central American crop production is at record levels. The true lesson from The New York Times’ article is a beneficial climate creates desperate media lies.

According to the Times, “Drought and rising temperatures in Guatemala are making it harder for people to make a living or even survive, thus compounding the already tenuous political situation for the 16.6 million people who live there.” The article focuses specifically on coffee production, quoting “one young farmer” who said, “We can’t make a living purely off coffee anymore.” The article then asserts global warming is causing coffee crop failures that are inducing people to enter the U.S. without authorization.

Objective facts obliterate this fictitious narrative. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s June 2018 publication "Coffee: World Markets and Trade," the 2017–18 coffee season produced the second highest global coffee crop on record and narrowly fell short of the record 2016–17 season. And the 2016–17 season will likely not remain in the record books for long. “World coffee production for 2018/19 is forecast 11.4 million bags higher than the previous year at a record 171.2 million,” according to the USDA report. The current forecast is a full 6 percent above the previous record yield. That will make 2016–18 the three years with the largest coffee production in recorded history.

It’s also important to note Central America and South America are producing record global coffee yields. Brazil produces more than half the global coffee crop, and USDA reports Brazilian coffee production has set records each of the past four years. Meanwhile, the 2017–18 Central American coffee crop set a new record, and USDA forecasts the 2018–19 Central American crop will set yet another record.

How could the New York Times get it so wrong?  I think they want to avoid the more obvious reasons for the migration.  Corruption and the failure of Central American governments to protect the people are the main problem.  If they had stable governments that protected the people their climate would actually attract more people to the area and produce resorts that would attract Americans to the area. 

Many of these governments have also embraced the evils of liberalism which stymies the free market and leads to socialist policies that reduces people to serfdom while enriching those at the top.
