Actual climatologists are seeing a crossover into the cold period in 2023 through 2030.

The only major issue facing the United States in the near future is the lack of rain and above normal temperatures in the Pacific NW. 115-120 degree temperatures in OR, WA and BC are not unprecedented. They are above normal. It also tends to rain there in May & June. It usually does not get dry until August/September.

Fire season does not typically start until August. This means that unless they get rain real soon they COULD be in for a really bad fire season. This directly affects the sawmills I deal with in that part of the US and Canada. A couple in OR came very close to burning down last year. Lumber has had as much as a 50% correction in the last month. This could drive the prices right back up in late July/August/September. Hold on to your hats.
