Video: There are some nasty short- and long-term implications in control of the weather and climate. You and I have nothing to do with it, nor can we control it.

He's much older that he looks! :)
Nukes. And, we need 100 of them. We need to open every hydrocarbon filed in our territory in the man time. I prefer we go with the land-based oil and gas first. And I would support a $25/bbl tariff on every barrel of imported oil to ensure incentive for the drillers.
But long term it's gotta be nukes.
What’s truly sick, is that the Algor globull warmist cult is now saying that even if it gets really cold, its obviously because of human generated Co2. By their own rules, now, they can’t be wrong, no matter what the outcome. When do the libs finally see a buck naked emperor?
I explained last April about these minimums to my visiting sisters. I told them Congress will try to pass climate change BS before next winter. “They know what’s coming and that will kill their agenda”, they had never heard of it.
Well, here we are. Watch for a significant event Tuesday as this pattern holds.
I would think anyone who spends their days looking at the Sun would be seeing dots with their eyes closed. ~)
The Observatory in Greenwich, England, has been counting sunspots since sometime in the 1500s, I believe.
LOLOL!
I believe you mean the Dalton Minimum in the 1800s. John Dalton was looking at the sunspots I believe. Maunder Minimum was a hundred or so years earlier.
Farmers plant according to soil temperature and moisture. They will harvest all night if they have to if the weather report is unfavorable (ie: too wet).
There have been tremendous development of *early* varieties of many vegetables over many years. I am in a microclimate, for example, the puts my land into a different agricultural zone than my location would suggest. I plant a lot of Northern and early varieties because I cannot count on more than 90 days in the growing season. Remember, many plants go dormant if the temperatures get too warm, especially at night. They can just sit there, not advancing at all, even if loaded with fruit. The length of day is important, too. Land that gets the sun later in the morning and loses it earlier in the evening will not get a good crop from varieties that need more and longer growing days.
No matter what happens, I will bet on plant technologists to come up with varieties that do fine in whatever weather/climate we have.
“When do the libs finally see a buck naked emperor?”
The answer is, “because they can’t”. Almost by definition, conservatives believe what they see, and liberals believe what the emperor tells them to believe.
But then I can see from the first two sentences of your post that you know a liberal when you see one.
similar pattern to now.
It is at our house. Wired into our grid supply, if we are not using all of the power generated, the meter runs backwards and we get a check from Entergy for what we have contributed to the grid. I'm actually looking at another windmill, vertical axis.
I would like to remove you from your opinion that farmers might be 'mired in the lies of the democrap party and al goreghoul'. Sigh. Good grief, farmers know how to produce a crop or two, when to do it and what do plant. It is what we do, not only to feed ourselves, but to support our entire existence.
Around here, when its still is when its coldest or warmest. This morning its 1 degree and we have a 5 mph wind.
Let me be the first one to coin this the “Bastardi Minimum”.
That way when DumbBlonde and his/her friends have extra power flowing, everyone else will get a bit of a discount to use it then and store up hot water or whatever. When they don't have power for the grid, people with smart grid appliances might see their washing machines stop for an hour to spread out the load. They will then get the cheaper rates by allowing the electric company to do that.
