Start a forest fire! I need cooler weather so my tomato plants can set on more fruit.
Tomatoes do not need heat to ripen. I grow them in the winter in my greenhouse that I heat to 55F.

In earlier, more pleasant times, this would be called an Indian Summer.
Now, no things Indian are to be remembered, let alone celibrated.

I was wondering what effect this would have on crops.
Crops? What crops? All I see is ice...

With these cold swings, I am getting the idea that we’all here in the CONUS, are going to have a winter to deal with, whether you live in leftist Portland, OR (BTDT), or wacky Baton Rouge!

Most of us knew that in 2000. But you gotta add at least one other descriptive phrase to that...’EVIL’

“I need some heat to ripen my tomatoes. wheres algore and his pile of hot air?”.....
You forgot the “B.S.” to go with the hot air. Don’t forget you will still need some rain.

I need cooler weather so my tomato plants can set on more fruit. It's been cooler than usual in Red England...upper 40's right at the moment. However...tomato plants are LOADED with blossoms and fruit...barring a tornado or hurricane; best crop in years.

It wouldn’t be the weather but the onslaught of progressives demanding we sacrifice for an instant solution that we’d need to survive.

Maybe next winter will be interesting, but winters between 3 and 9 years from now might be much more interesting. As in the old Chinese curse "may you live in interesting times".
Warmth is good. Warm oceans experience more evaporation, leading to more moisture in the air and more rainfall. Warmer weather mean that areas of Canada and Siberia become warm enough to grow crops in.
Colder weather means drought and famine, worldwide.

"It wouldnt be the weather but the onslaught of progressives demanding we sacrifice for an instant solution that wed need to survive."
That's very true. And they'd be even more desperate with their debt/revenues, and consequently, political influence declining as a result of the weather fluctuations and their mistakes in answering the weather problems.

That’s an interesting and true point. When evaporation slows, condensation is less frequent and heavy—less rain and snow.

let’s see what ALGORE can come up with./s you must be in the desert. I was in high desert Redding, CA last year. at about 100 degrees the air would take your breath away. and you could keep an eye out for Mt shasta to cool you off.

I know that Minnesota had lots of rain late into the spring that hurt the crops. This probably isn’t helping matters any.

Tomatoes need lots of light to even grow. Very hard to get tomatoes to grow and set fruit with artificial light. They need at least 6-8 hours/day of sunlight to produce well.
However, high temperatures (over low to mid 90s) inhibit pollination. Unfortunately for me, my summers from 2011-2013 were near or over 100F almost all summer. Near the highest temps in the country much of the time.
This year has been much better. Have had some hot, but also a few periods cool enough and long enough that most of my plants have set on some fruit. I planted them rather late, though, and grow only grow heirloom varieties that take 75-90 days to ripen fruit. Should have my first ripe ones in a couple of weeks.
I am getting some small tomatoes from plants I started early in containers in my greenhouse.
