Cult Asks What ‘Climate Change’ Means For Your Thanksgiving

I wonder what it meant when it was first established, back during the Little Ice Age?
What Climate Change Means For Your Thanksgiving Dinner
For people around the U.S., Thanksgiving is a chance to enjoy the best an autumn harvest has to offer—from sweet potatoes and pumpkin to turkey and green beans.
It is, while joining with friends and family. Time Magazine should have stopped there.
But as higher temperatures impact growing seasons and extreme weather events wipe out crops, farmers across the country are facing mounting challenges when it comes to growing produce and raising livestock.
“Drought, changing temperature patterns in different parts of the country, natural disasters… all of those things have an impact on the supply of food and agricultural commodities,” says Marcus Coleman, professor of practice at Tulane University whose work focuses on food systems and agriculture.
Climate change is leading to more irregularity when it comes to seasonal weather patterns, which can impact the growing cycle for a number of crops.
Two Thanksgiving staples illustrate these challenges. “Cranberries and apples are both very dependent on specific temperature patterns,” says Coleman. Cranberries, which require cooler temperatures during their growing period to help them ripen before they’re harvested in the fall, can see abnormal blossoming when exposed to inconsistent temperatures. This can lead to lower yields. Meanwhile a late spring frost can kill the blossoms that produce apples.
Turkeys, on the other hand, are particularly sensitive to extreme heat.
“Rising temperature increases heat stress on the poultry,” says Coleman. “From a supply perspective, that could slow down their growth rates or raise the overall [risk for] mortality. It can also drive up the cost of production, because farmers have to put in mechanisms to deal with the heat so as to not impact the output of the birds.”
And a 1.7F increase since 1850 is horrible, you know. It’s just a doomsday cult being doomsday cult. The rest is just more cult, right up to the ending
Knowing where our food is coming from and the challenges farmers are facing can also remind us to be thankful for the food that we have—and to make sure those Thanksgiving leftovers don’t go to waste.
Do they realize that many of the more hardcore Warmists are also the same cranks who hate Thanksgiving (but, also want holiday pay and the day off)?
