People the world over have been asking that question since they invented weather.
Natural Disaster? You are never going to get a grant with that thinking, this is a disaster caused by humans, aka GloBull warming.
Where I live in central KY I asked a guy why all the corn here is “feeder corn”. He said that sweet corn needs irrigation and to effectively irrigate, you need pretty flat ground. It’s hilly here and our abundant rain allows one to grow at least feeder corn with no irrigation. They also do tobacco, wheat and soy. The Wheat was all harvested about a month ago.
—Why is nature going crazy all of a sudden?—
It’s not. The breathless reporting just makes it look that way.
What has happened to all the serious hurricanes? They need to report SOMETHING I guess.
Take NE Mississippi off the list. The last week has done it.
Only if you discount the actual weather history and it’s cyclical nature. A quick look at the summer of 1954 would clear this up for anyone interested in truth.
About $150 an acre to buy a center pivot irrigation system and keep it running.
My husband and I went for a drive yesterday. We saw a few of the center pivot irrigation devices working. But right next to a field receiving water would be another that was so parched the corn is not yet knee high.
Not everybody can afford irrigation systems. We were in a area of Mennonite and Amish farms mixed in with modern farms. They don’t use irrigation systems.
Yes, lots of farmers still rely on rain.
Is this a claim that the bible supports the Glowbull warming crowd?
We're used to the heat since it starts about late April and lasts until October. I feel for people elsewhere who have no idea and are suffering with the heat. Anything less than 95 for us is comfy.
Glad to hear it’s a little better in Ky. I haven’t been able to get down to the “southern command center” for several weeks now.
Oh yeah, Global Warming started under Bush, so it's “All Bush's Fault”.
/mooonbat rant off
It's always something! If it's not too cold, it's too hot. If it's not raining enough, it's raining too much. Maybe if I forfeit the rest of my earnings to the government, they will make it all better for me.
Americans should say a prayer to the almighty to restore and replinish our land.
<< 2 Chronicles 7:14 >>
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Amen. IMHO the US is going thru an Old Testament “shaking” because our nation was founded with the proclamation that it will grounded in God’s laws and teachings. Unfortunate our nation strayed. In 2001, 9/11 is our first shaking, the financial implosion in 2008 our second shaking, if we do not change 2015 will be our next shaking. Each shaking will be worst then the last one and all will stop if we go back to God. Our country has gotten worst morally. Outlawing religion, promoting gay rights, we have accelerated away from God even faster. If we do not repent God WILL let this country fall!
Just think of all the irrigation infrastructure we could have built with $5 TRILLION dollars
updated the electrical grid too
and fixed ALL the roads and bridges
During Obozo’s stimulus spending I was traveling on a stretch of road in Colorado in the middle of nowhere. Houses were 5 miles apart. The road was perfectrly fine for 20 miles or so, and then suddenly there was an “Obama simuloous dollars at work” sign
This was followed by a 1 and a half foot drop in the pavement that nearly kiled me and dumped all my stuff out of the back of my truck, followed by 2 miles of newly (and poorly) constructed road, followed by 20 more miles of perfectly fine road.
So they were literally hiring one company to dig a hole and another company to fill it in.
Now THAT’s some goood gubmint!
When is the government going to start helping out people who lose it all in the casino? Seriously. They take a chunk of your winnings every time you win real big. Why the hell don’t they help you out if you lose real big?
Indeed. Between 55 million abortions since Roe v Wade and a regime that endorses "gay marriage" as well as hostility toward Israel, honestly what can we expect?
Apples to oranges comparison. In 1954 this nation did not plant corn to use as fuel for their vehicles.
