Emily Gosden, you are a dumbass. To the editors of the UK Telegraph that agreed to print this inane piece of idiocy, you are dumbasses of biblical scale.

LOL
The Muslims are taking over Britain, and those doofuses are worried that the supply of Peruvian asparagus MAY be reduced because of mythical “climate change.”
Some civilizations deserve to go extinct.

Dear UK journalist,
You have some excellent universities.
Go to one.
Try to get enrolled in physics courses.
Being a journalist, you will have to go through a few years of prep, given that you essentially are uneducated.
Learn about absorption curves.
Realize that your story is a bunch of bull Obama.

In related but unreported news, it has now been 3336 days (9.13 years) since the last major (Category 3 or higher) hurricane has made landfall in the US. This eclipses the old record of 2231 days (6.11 years) set 19 Oct 1906.
Since Global Warming predicts more frequent storms of greater intensity, this record breaking calm spell is yet another proof of Global Warming.

I can now go to my local market and buy tomatoes and blackberries, year-round, that are grown in CANADA!
Ever hear of hydroponic greenhouses there???

Experts warn that Peruvian production of the vegetable, which has soared in the past decade, is likely to be hit by extreme weather I don't understand. I thought we already were experiencing Global Warming. If we are, then why has asparagus production "soared" over the past decade? Does that mean Global Warming helps asparagus production??? If so, then I'm all for Global Warming because I love asparagus.

What’s up with the Brits? First it’s their teeth, and now they want smelly urine 7/24? They’d deserve AGW...if it wasn’t a false theory.

It can't be a coincidence. I'm certain there must be a direct correlation in the hot air coming out of those UN climate summit hoidy-toidys, claptrapping in Peru and this loss of asparagus production.
Oh, the despair the loss of a little asparagus must have on a nation.

Yeah, tomatoes that have the texture and taste of old baseballs.

“Green” in this parlance means fresh, not canned.

If Gosden had two functioning brain cells, she’d known that the warmists would immediately end the use of all fossil fuels and there would be NO transportation of any fruits or vegetable from South America to England or anywhere else.
