BEIJING - China has been working to reduce the risk of decreasing grain harvests caused by global warming in coming decades.
Estimates placed the losses suffered by 2030 at between 5 percent and 10 percent if climate change continues, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences Deputy Dean Tang Huajun said.
The threats climate change generates include shrinkages of arable land, water shortages and extreme weather, Tang said.
