Down here on the US Gulf Coast we have flying cockroaches about that size. I think Mr. Glenn has them in H-Town as well. Would like to see a cage fight between one our roaches and that grasshopper! Speaking of cage fights, have Istarted one on the Antarctic thread? The In one corner, Graywolf and the collapse of the ice sheets! In the other, Mr. White and the next mini ice-age. Kind of like Keynes v Hayek! www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0nERTFo-SkPhydeaux speaks the truth. We have flying cockroaches that will make even the bravest of the brave cringe when one lands on you.

Shucks, ever been to Guam? The cockroaches there were mistaken for B-52s by Chinese and Russian spies!

We used to entice them with sugar. Turn out the lights, they would come to feast on the sugar. Spray them with lighter fluid, quick light and turn out the lights. We thought about starting a disco, was all the rage them decades ago.
Had moving lights, sizzles and cracks, even an odd popping noise at times.
But alas, that idea went up in flames.

You beat me to this by minutes, Mr. Sig. I was just about to post the reference to this from Anthony at WUWT. Special note--the protein content of this wheat is supposedly low, because the summer weather was not hot enough and too wet. I thought this was the hottest summer evah! It seems our warmest friends can conjure up a dark cloud with which to hide any silver lining! "Every silver lining has a cloud"

Well Ratty, I have been reading for 40 years that the world will be starving in 5 or 10 years. Something tells me that there will still be food in 5 or 10 years time. I bet there will still be food in 2030 or 2050.

Yeah, that's confusing as we all can see the articles contradict each other. Odd I read a story a few months back while up in Canada how AGW was going to be good for the Canadian prairies. It will be Code.

While we are discussing food ,,, here is a graph of growing degree days compiled from the mean daily temperatures from the Central England temperature record from 1772 to 2015. Note our favorite cold periods, the Dalton Minimum and the 1880s. While the Dalton was the lowest in this series, dropping to about 70% of its value in 1778, the 1880s lasted longer. Note the sharp decline since 2006 ... 2015 registered 1165 GDD, which is 61% of the 2007 value. The 2016 value will be somewhat higher. These are the lowest values in about 24 years. Storage time Flea?

Nice Data as always Mboy!
This summer has been noticeably warmer then any other since 2007 with 2013 2014 as runners up although coming later in the year...
Apparently though, farmers in the south still had crops in the fields this week, which probably got some damage as torrential rain ended our summer quite abruptly.
Too wet early on, too dry later, heat stayed later then usual and some tried harvesting late to maximise yield it seems, may have bitten them in the arse. ....
Mind you, we over look an expanse of fields and it was all harvested 3-4 weeks ago so go figure (150 miles from south coast)....

This is the ultimate goal of the AGE movement. Their goal is population control through energy poverty. Energy poverty helps keep people starving because there is limited economic growth.
