#1 Fortier is hopeful the season will still be productive.

Of course it will. Global warming is getting worse! Sorry. Climate Change is getting worse. In less than ten years, it'll be different.

#4 Bookmark for future reference.

Correlation is not causation, but many, if not all, of man’s worst times since the last glacial maximum occur during colder and dryer periods. Often these times were made worse by warfare as in the Greek Dark Ages, the sacking of Rome, the collapse of the Akkadian Empire, etc. The colder and more arid climate could have been part of the cause of the wars. We go to war when we are starving and thirsty. More importantly, I was unable to find evidence of a crisis* that was due to warming.

* not to be confused with modern media created and hyped pseudo-crisis

#5 the issue is more complex

for example, the medieval warm period resulted in population increase and when harvests were bad with some fierce winters beginning in 1310 or so, the population was weakened and were easier targets for the bubonic plague which hit europe beginning in about 1315

#6 If we admit global warming is the biggest scam since the Piltdown man, can we still have our grant money?
