Back in the 70s, our science teacher kept saying we were heading into another mini ice age. I forget, when did it come through?
Why no more tomatoes?
Thanks. I will.
The rising sea level (flood) prediction came from the school that does general circulation models of the earth's atmosphere, which has, since their funding stream became politicized, consistently jiggered their models to try to exclude any non-human causation other than things already built into general circulation models (like the Pacific decadal cycle), produced ever more alarming prediction even as their models drifted further from observations, corrupted data by preferring data from urban surface stations which need correction to data from rural stations and the like.
See my post #24 below.
Bet on needing a parka. The solar climate modelers can make models that are correct back for millions of years, the general circulation types who believe in “global warming” can’t get their models to fit a century of data without basically hand-fitting it, and then it goes wrong the previous century or the next decade.
RV’s today use the same principle in their refrigerators only there is generally 3 ways to run them. 110 volt AC current, 12 volt DC current and propane. Propane is the same principle as your pictured fridge. A small pilot size flame is all that is needed and it changes the refrigerant from a liquid to a gas which is where the cooling effect takes place. Instead of R-22 freon it uses amonia, very corrosive and is generally the reason you don’t see house size AC anymore. The units for houses were quite large to provide enough cooling for a house also.
Decades ago the local gas companies tried marketing the units but gave up because of size and corrosive amonia.
Probably similar to the technology in a electric/propane fridge in an RV.
If it gets too cold, especially at night, tomatoes won’t set fruit. I mean, if we’re just talking a few degrees drop, that’s one thing; we can use cloches and plastic, greenhouses, etc. for the tomatoes and peppers.
BUT - if it’s truly an Ice Age, that’s a whole ‘nother pile of compost!
Good points. :)
Yes, but...
Ironically, the 23mil who will die from the cold, won't be the ones that Ayers wanted to expunge.
They will more likely be the ones who vote for Socialist nonsense.
As I said for years. The most damaging effect of the Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming crowd is the damage they have done and are doing to the reputation and public view of Science.
Your post confirms that. This author is a poor source to get this information from.
I will be growing tomatoes in front of my patio doors, just like I do every winter, except, now I’ll do it in the winter too. Even just 1 cherry tomato improves a salad 100%. JMHO
Agreed! :)

You have been pinged because of your interest in environmentalism, alarmist wackos, mainstream media doomsday hype, and other issues pertaining to global warming.

Playing both sides against the middle so no matter what happens, they’re right.
Or heating, or cooling or temperatures that stay the same. In a worst case scenario millions of unicorns will fall from the sky and take over the earth...
In short, Global Warming Predicts Nothing and Explains Everything.
“ronically, the best instrumentation available indicates that there has actually been a decrease in the rate of sea level rise over the last 20 years.”
Well, you just shot to hell any chance you had for a government or university grant.
