For the second time in little over a year, it looks as though the world may be heading for a serious food crisis, thanks to our old friend "climate change". In many parts of the world recently the weather has not been too brilliant for farmers. After a fearsomely cold winter, June brought heavy snowfall across large parts of western Canada and the northern states of the American Midwest. In Manitoba last week, it was -4ºC. North Dakota had its first June snow for 60 years.
There was midsummer snow not just in Norway and the Cairngorms, but even in Saudi Arabia. At least in the southern hemisphere it is winter, but snowfalls in New Zealand and Australia have been abnormal. There have been frosts in Brazil, elsewhere in South America they have had prolonged droughts, while in China they have had to cope with abnormal rain and freak hailstorms, which in one province killed 20 people.

Where’s Al Gore now?
Apparently the only way to do this is by spending about a thousand gillion dollars of the US economy.
It only will work if we use American dollars cuz that is what Al Gore is demanding. The rest of the worlds money is no good for this use. Something about the special CO2 and ozone in US currency.
This must be a typo in the headline. We all know that the earth is melting from the heat of global warming...Gore said that the issue is settled and so it must be...maybe someone cafix that headline.
See my tagline. It will be as true this year as any.
if it eliminates enough corn to keep them from craping up the gasoline i’m all for it!
Likely prepping for the award liberals will undoubtedly bestow upon him.
It is still snowing here, on June 15th, in the High Sierra of California.
Guess why it’s not called “Global Warming” anymore? It’s been “Climate Change” and about to become “Deteriorating Atmosphere” apparently.
Hey, Algore, you foul stinking p.o.s. - - where’s that “global warming” you promised?
So far our garden looks very healthy inspite of all of the rain. Probably helps that it is on the side of a hill?
Odd. My calendar says June 13th, and we're in the same time zone (I think).
Normally, in mid-June it is consistently in the 90s, maybe a few 80s days, maybe a few 100s days.
It is STILL in the 60s and 70s overall and we're well into summer. My vegetables won't grow - they don't think it's time yet.
Anecdotal, perhaps. But this has been a very cool spring and summer in my neck of the woods.
Check. I’m in Ventura Co. and it’s been in the 60s most of the day. Right now at 1922hrs, it’s 63F.
But technically, Summer doesn’t begin until 6/21.
Yeah, well I have June 13, and I am in the foothills and it only rained down at this elevation but I am sure it snowed up higher.
He made his millions selling the GW trash to the world … he is now in the Bahamas sipping Mojitos or something, laughing his considerable derriere off. ;-)
I have an idea.
Let’s build dozens of coal burning power plants.
Lower the price of electricity by 50%.
Stimulate economic growth with cheap energy supplies.
Stop funding terrorists.
Increase global warming and prevent a catastrophic ice age that could easily erase humanity from the earth.
I have three inches of “global warming” on my deck right now. (Black Hills of South Dakota).
There appears to be some recognition by the “Warming” people, as evidenced by the more frequent references by the “state owned media shills” [SOWS] to “Climate Change”.
I was listening last night to the Yankees-Mets game on radio. Announcers John Sterling and Susan Waldman were discussing the cold weather during the Yankee/Red Sox series that ended the prior day. Waldman concluded the cold weather is due to global warming on the ridiculous premise any weather that is “out of place” is due to global warming. She didn’t bother to elaborate who determines it is out of place or what criteria is used. At that point I changed the station.
