In the article “Climate, Pollution and California’s Crops” written by Justin McGrath, he talks about the historical impact on the ozone and climate change due to California’s perennial crops. First he addresses the slowing of plant adaptation in Tropospheric or tropical like environments due to carbon release in perennial or traditional farming methods that produce heavy carbon. Also, McGrath mentions the loss in Tropospheric yields due to lack of adoption in plants because of increasing temperature in these environments. These crop losses would only be battled by reducing Ozone damage which authors believe would cost 1 billion dollars. McGrath believes that these efforts will only be stopped with mass effort and can only be saved by limiting more damage to the atmosphere.

The facts in this article as well as McGraths opinions are very valid and hold a lot of truth. However these efforts to battle the environment change would not just require effort through money but also the farmers. The Californian government relies heavily on taxpayer money to go towards these funds, but fails to make direct change to the farmers. I do not agree with California’s efforts because they are trying to find people to solve the problem instead of doing it themselves. Subsidization to the farmers would drastically change the outcome of agricultural carbon emissions in California.
