weather?

[dagibbs]

It's mid June, and was 14 degrees inside this house at late morning. WTF? I was so tired of being chilly, that I turned the furnace on. This is just wrong. Warming, they promised me global warming.


Yeah, yeah, I know that local weather is not necessarily correlated or even relevant to global warming, let me rant. I even know that global warming can/could cause long term local drops in temperature due to changes of climate, weather patterns, etc. e.g. if we lose the Atlantic conveyor and Gulf stream with it due to global warming, most of northern and western Europe will end up quite a bit colder.

And temperature *instability*, which is more worrying from an agriculture point of view.

You're right. Crops are dying of frost, then burning, now the fields are all underwater...what're we gonna eat?

We could go back to hunting and gathering wild things.
There wouldn't be enough food for all of us, of course. One of the fun things about agriculture is that it supports a much larger population than hunting and gathering.
