This time of year most apples are imported from south america. They had killing late frosts down there back in Sep/Oct at the beginning of their growing season. Supply is decreased accordingly.

Global cooling strikes at food production (and thus prices) worldwide.

The US middle class can survive a degree of food price inflation. We won't see bare shelves, because we are able to pay enough to get farmers in other countries to send stuff here instead of to their local markets.

What about people in the Third World who are barely holding on, have no "safety net", and for whom food makes up a large percent of their expenditures?

Expect "civil unrest" to break out globally this year. Also expect floods of "refugees" show up in the US and Europe, and bring our "safety nets" to the breaking point.

The guy behind the website ‘iceagenow.com’ maintains we’ll be fighting in the streets for food long before any significant changes are seen in ‘ice sheets’.

Bastardi is predicting a ‘year without a summer’ type temps for those in the Great Lakes area and northern New England.

I love Bastardi to death. He’s highly entertaining! I hope he’s dead wrong on this one.
