Another worthless opinion piece by entitled hypocrites. I would like to see people like these "climate scientists" walk the walk. If they are that determined that greenhouse gases will kill the planet, they should set the example and shut off all activities even remotely related to producing greenhouse gases. Essentially, they should all go completely off the grid and provide all their own food and clean water. No electricity. No phones or gadgets. Show us how it is done. Until then, just a bunch of overly comfortable, well fed self centered hypocrites. They may say they are "focused on saving the world", but in reality, they are using what they call a catastrophe to get the attention they long for. This is the way they are heroes in their own minds and how they will get the attention they crave. These people are the same people living in the subdivisions that were once productive crop land. The same subdivisions that were used to raise cattle on native pastures. What will return more of the feared gases back to earth, crops and pasture or concrete and houses? The same houses that use air conditioning and heating to provide an undeserved comfort of living for people who are both ignorant and condescending of the very industries that provide the level of high quality life most people are allowed to enjoy in western societies. Perfect description. Of course they are not likely to walk the walk as they are above all that. Self-righteous, bloviating, wannabe intellectuals ... which they're not. There is a reason why such people are usually amongst the first to be shot whenever real revolutionaries come to power. They know they're worthless for anything else. Such worthless opinion pieces will continue as long as there is a large enough audience consuming them. As much as I hate the cold, a serious climate downturn may be exactly what is needed to flush such trash from the system. We cannot allow them to successfully reshape the history of their argument to be ... "Cold. That is exactly what we predicted all along."
 I concur, intellectuals first to go. |

Wonder how many people would die in the next month if everyone went vegan! Couldn't imagine how u would produce enough food to provide for everyone! Even if u had a yr to set it up! Understand everyone believes different things but some crap is just stupid!! You need protein and not from fake meat! I know i'm biased toward agriculture production! They are not concerned about you, or me, or the population in general. Only the meme is important (and their part within it.). While not wishing to be trite, it seems a shame to let a good meme go to waste. WINTER IS COMING. Let me guess that they are not prepared. |

From Electroverse. I'm assuming they can be confirmed from other sources. This may say something about the CCP prognosis for this winter and next year. Someone ask Joe what his prognosis is.
CHINA’S CORN IMPORTS JUMP 221%
China’s monthly corn imports in August 2021 jumped by 221.2% versus the same point of last year, as the country’s major flooding events from earlier in the year begin to really hit home.
The country brought in 3.23 million mt of corn in August, the second-highest level on record and up 12.9% compared to the prior month, data from China’s General Administration of Customs (CGAC) shows. It lifted total corn imports from January to August 2021 to 21.4 million mt, up by 283.7% from the levels at the same period in 2020.
As mentioned above, this surge is linked to the devastating floods, but is also the result of other inclement growing conditions, including record freezes, suffered across large swathes of China this year.
Demand from the feed industry is one factor in the rise, as the country rebuilds its pig herd after both flooding and the deadly African swine fever (ASF) outbreak. Animal feed production in August was up by 6.5% month-on-month and 14.9% on the year to reach 27.23 million mt, data from China Feed Industry Association (CFIA) has shown.
At the same time, data from CGAC released Monday showed that China’s soybean imports from Brazil in August 2021 jumped by 10.9% from the same month in 2020.
Wheat was up 710,000 mt August, which pushed the China’s wheat imports between January to August 2021 to 6.96 million mt, up 39.7% from the same point in 2020.
Barley imports this year so far is 7.11 million mt, a jump of over 115.4% on the year.
And finally, sorghum imports were up 27% from a year earlier.
China appears to be prepping.

They are fulfilling the trade agreement. They were supposed to import 25mmt of corn, hope they reach that goal. |

Generally, yields in the upper Plains have been better than the growth models predicted.
Thank you CO2.
We are past our "normal" killing frost date.
Missouri, you are a chart whiz.
1. ND has had cooler springs, extended nice falls. Could there be a climate shift taking place? Can you chart this for upper Midwest and Central Canada?
2. I am harvesting seed spuds. A bit on the warm side for perfect spud harvesting weather.
3. Sugar beet harvest starts October 1. It won't start based on current forecast.

A bit on the warm side for perfect spud harvesting weather. 3. Sugar beet harvest starts October 1. It won't start based on current forecast. OK Sig. I updated my Grand Forks ND daily timeseries. There does seem to be a relatively recent warming of Autumn in comparison to Spring (since the 1990s). But before you get too excited, remember that University Vermin have had their way with the GF database. We know they are lazy and sloppy, so just maybe they didn't mess too much with the seasonal components. I'm including some of my previous charts depicting what can only be described as fraud.  FRAUD EXHIBIT #1. Note the comparison for other stations in the general geographic area with their trend lines. That ain't natural. Bad boys, bad boys. They got about 1C out of that.  FRAUD EXHIBITs #2 & 3. Note how closely Brookings SD trends with Columbia, MO. It's 539 road miles to Brookings. A bit of a trip.  Now look at Grand Forks compared to Brookings. Cool the past and warm the present. Bad boys, bad boys. It's only 266 road miles from Brookings to Grand Forks.  There are others. Grand Forks is a tier one station for the climate models. The others aren't. Bad boys, bad boys. Whatcha gonna do when they come for you? I wanna be with the posse.  |

 ![]() China has deep fundamental economic issues and may not be able to purchase as much as they planned. Evergrande, one of the largest real estate developers in China is pretty much insolvent and unable to make cash payments on it's huge amount of debt. Fearing contagion I am assuming the Chinese Government will bail Evergrande out and kick the can down the road for a while longer, but the writing is on the wall. Condo prices are 57 times the average income and there are over 50 entire cities that are vacant. They are empty because the Chinese view real estate as "used" if they have been lived in before bringing down the value. Entire family's have invested their life savings in these condos in what many consider the biggest economic bubble the world has ever seen. I am not Warren Buffett but as more and more of these workers near retirement and want to cash out on their investments it will seed the crash. A crash that will make 1929 look minor. I know I have been warning people of this economic collapse in China for at least as long as Astromet has been warning us of the upcoming grand solar minimum but the fundamentals of the Chinese economy have not changed. Building vacant cities does not seem like the basis for a solid social retirement program. asia.nikkei.com/Business/Markets/Property/Evergrande-debt-crisis-shines-light-on-China-real-estate-bubble |

But since we didn't manage things well...

One thing I do know about China. The Communist Party is desperately afraid of the people. They do not tolerate civil disobedience, unrest or protests. The Chinese government has tried to keep it squashed but videos have leaked out of protests at Evergrande offices around China. They are trying to avoid a Lehman sized collapse. Watch the BBC video and look at the faces of the people protesting. It looks similar to the old black and white photographs of the faces on Wall Street in 1929. Everyone knows Evergrande is broke and cant make the payments. So big brother has to step in with a cash infusion from the government. The millions of condos that fill these vacant cities are worthless and a drain if they do not generate revenue. Desperate people will do desperate things when their perceived wealth and life savings disappears when the bubble pops. It really is not so much different then our current stock market bubble. On paper I look pretty good. But it is all make believe until I hit the sell button, pay my taxes and cash out. Like leaving a hot craps table. Few can do it. www.bbc.com/news/av/world-asia-china-58702451www.cnbc.com/2021/09/20/evergrande-debt-collapse-could-have-domino-effect-on-china-properties.html |

We should take a page out of the Putin book. He funded the green movement globally to kill gas and oil competitors. China like the West is filled with people bursting to destroy their society's.
We need to seed their internal destruction.
One difference, the people will be better of not as the Socialists want poverty.

Thats the problem. It's incredibly expensive to get your money out of 401K's and IRA's after taxes and penalties. |
