Let’s pretend a complete collection of climate change claims is true (I don’t care which of their many claims, but pick any one set of dire but mutually-consistent predictions):

Wine grapes grow almost exclusively between 30 and 50 degrees latitude north and south of the equator.

Citrus fruits are mainly grown in California, Arizona, Florida, and Texas.

Apples are grown commercially in 32 states. The 10 top apple-producing states are: Washington, New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, California, Virginia, North Carolina, Oregon, Ohio, Idaho.

Corn is grown in most U.S. States, but production is concentrated in the Heartland region (including Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, eastern portions of South Dakota and Nebraska, western Kentucky and Ohio, and the northern two-thirds of Missouri).

Soybeans are grown mainly in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Indiana, and Ohio, although again they are grown in many other states.

Wheat is grown in quantity in Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Indiana, Ohio, and a dozen other states.

We also have barley, oats, and a long list of other crops. If we cannot shift crops perhaps 50 miles north or possibly grow a different strain of wheat or even switch to barley . . . If we cannot adapt in the course of a century - four generations to a possible two degree increase in temperature, we deserve the losses.

A little Gorebull warming would be nice here in Vermont. Yesterday, we had the coldest Thanksgiving on record right here, and I was out shoveling the driveway much of the day.

I read a few days ago a Solar Scientist with a history of 90% accurate predictions making the claim the sun is going into an unusually cold minimum sunspot period. The model used has the sun going into this in 2020 and not coming out for about 4 centuries. If true an abundance of any green house gases would be a blessing in disguise.

It’s already impacted us economically. Mainly because the government has imposed regulations purporting to prevent climate change and the government has spent so much money studying climate change.

This is a true story. One of my friends son bought a Lexus coupe from a University of Arizona coed for $400.00 because she didn’t want to drive a car that was destroying the planet. The value of the car was $9500.00 at the time. Her parents bought it for her as a college get around car.

If so then why is all the money collected for global baloney going to buy mansions by the sea by the liberals controlling the taxing of carbon credits?

Trump should tell these assholes to shut up over here and lecture their mantra to China and India.

Is there anything sky high taxes can’t fix?
