I live way up in north Alabama. Dry here, too.
An old gentleman that went to my church used to say, “When you are laying in bed late at night and you put your hand on your old lady’s belly beside you, and her belly button is full of sweat, you know that cotton’s growing”.
Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, is from Robertsdale. We used to call people from Robertsdale 'potato pickers.'
This is the same area that produced Ken Stabler.
Drove through southwest GA this last weekend. They were in high cotton!
What the climate change alarmists predict - the destruction of life on earth - defies earth history and evolution. That history of life on earth is 100% about ADAPTATION to an ever changing, ever dynamic world. The survivors in every species are and were the best adapters.
Look at humanity, as it occupies some part of every climate niche on the planet.
And as change happens, there is always winners besides the losers. What goes on is LIFE, writ large.
What is already happening with some species, like the Polar Bears? They are adapting and thriving by adapting.
What too many humans lack is that natural instinct, that natural demand to pick their butts up off of the status quo and adapt.
Their psychology has been warped by the government plantation society mentality. Many cling to dying cities waiting for the plantation state to save them, while jobs aplenty are calling all over the country.
The adults who raised the “greatest generation” did not sit on their butts. They pulled themselves up by their bootstraps out of the big city ghettos, and when the dust bowl ended their dreams they loaded their worldly goods and families in the car and headed west, not even knowing what they would find. Their children accepted and bested the WWII burdens like their parents had the depression - overcoming the hurdles before them.
What needs to be done about “climate change”? What needs to be done economically? INVESTING IN MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION, not throwing our investments away to the “green” lobbies.
