Definite “oh crap” charts there. From Norway....not known as a great wheat producer....

“The official view in Norway is in contrast to what the people experience because of cooling weather: Late spring gives flooding and avalanches when late snow-melting in the mountains. Water pipes freeze because of early and deep frost in the winter. Insect populations down 40% in 5 years because of cool and wet summers. This of cause is bad for pollination of fruit and berries. The grain harvest in Norway this summer is down 18% from average the last 5 years, despite increase in area and better seeds. But officially it is getting warmer.”

and the global picture ...a 1.2 degree drop in global temperatures translates into 21% drop in world wide grain production

and for history buffs.....check out the paintings in the UK Tate gallery and in Amsterdam...showing thew tail end of the 400 year long mini ice age 1350 to 1750

The Frozen Thames, looking Eastwards towards Old London Bridge: 1677 Credit: Museum of London ...check the thickness of the ice.

And a contribution from the US 1776

Lot of ice in that river.

You have to hope that the bottom chart projecting a Maunder “type” minimum is wrong.
