World leaders ride to a climate summit in limos, and Sean Hannity denies that global warming exists because it snowed in Houston.

I just hope it doesn't get too bad. A modern-day version of the Dust Bowls would be potentially as awful as the 535 eruption of Krakatoa, given how many people worldwide starve absent Uncle Sam's agriculture....

Krakatoa...a bit of an exaggeration there but I see what you mean. =)

Well, a single year's worth of climate change accelerated a plague which halved the populations of the pre-Islamic Iranian Empire and Christian Europe. And led to the Old World version of contemporary Euro-American society where tiny groups of people took over larger societies halved by plague and built new syncretic civilizations on top of them.

Longer-term stuff...yikes.

Isn't the US a net importer of food?

Anomalies are real..heck I've thrown a snowball in hell (In '94 we got snowed in, in Jerusalem, so I specifically walked down to the Gehenna Valley for that purpose......)

I'm not sure of that, but, considering I was wearing tennis shoes, and only had a turtle neck and a flannel shirt for warmth to trudge thru the snow.....
(Hey Israel has pretty close to the same climate as So Cal, who knew)
