Climate change/global warming does not mean the end of super cold winters.
This years polar wortex was cuased by unusually warm temps in the artic.
Any farmer who has been turning soil more than 30 years can tell you the climate is rapidly changing.
The last 10 years we have been getting 3 cuttings on our hay fields. That is insane.
We were cutting hay last year into October due to above normal temps
That is true. But none of it is caused by humans. NONE OF IT!!!
BTW, this present climate we have is very usual per the climate cycles the planet goes through. It swings from warm to cold constantly and the climate cycles we are now in last but a short time between those cycles.
No intelligent person ever claims that climate does not change.
Climate has been changing since earth was born 5 Billion years ago. During the last 5 billion years there have been vastly different climates periods on earth.
Man is too puny compared to earth to cause climate change. Astronauts circling earth can’t see any man made objects.
And earth is too puny compared to the Sun which is million times bigger and million times hotter, and has it’s own cycles between more hot and less hot.
According to this site, you were damaging your hay field, since optimum time is determined by sunlight, not temperature:https://blog.caseih.com/so-when-will-you-make-that-last-hay-cut/
"During the fall, fewer daylight hours signal alfalfa and other legumes that it’s time to begin storing energy in their taproots and crowns. For northern climates, University of Wisconsin forage specialists recommend cutting early enough (early to mid-September) to allow plants time to regrow and replenish root carbohydrates and proteins before a killing frost. Another option is to delay the last cutting until near the time you expect a killing frost; that way, plants don’t regrow or use the energy reserves they’ll need for winter survival and spring regrowth.
Where do you live? I was born in 1939. Growing up, we ALWAYS got 3 cuttings of alfalfa here in PA. I left the farm in 1957, but I’m sure they still get 3 cuttings if they want it.
After the worldwide Noahic flood, God told Noah there would never be another global flood, and that ‘til the end of time, summer and winter, hot and cold, seed time and harvest will not cease. I choose to believe God.
Wrong not artic warming but stratosphere warming over the pole pushing down the troposphere. Bastardi pointed this out a lot yesterday. He agrees the climate is warming of late but uncertain of reason. Last year where I live it was a warm winter. Easily noticed by my kilowatt usage. This year the opposite. For instance we have exceeded the average daily high temp about 3 times in the last 2 months. Maybe La Niña has to do with that which also portends a big hurricane season here.
