Farmers Warn That The Megadrought In The Western US Threatens To Cause Devastating Crop Failures In 2021 Throughout U.S. history, there have always been droughts in the western half of the country from time to time, but what we are dealing with now is truly alarming. Scientists tell us that a multi-year “megadrought” has developed in the southwestern portion of the country, and this is the worst year of that “megadrought” so far by a wide margin. If conditions do not radically improve soon, we are going to have a major agricultural disaster on our hands. Some farmers have already decided not to plant crops at all this year, but many others have decided to plant anyway knowing that if enough rain doesn’t come their crops will certainly fail.  The drought would appear to depend on the La Nina forecast by Astro. I would not bet on it ending soon. |

we cant call it "Maunder" it needs a fresh name a competition for the new epoch. The "Gore minima". Goes with his brain maybe. This was David Archibald's prediction back about 2011 ... The world has entered a de Vries cycle event in solar activity which will
produce a decline in temperature in the range of 1.2e2.2 C in the mid-latitude
regions, with a consequent impact on agricultural productivitymyweb.wwu.edu/dbunny/pdfs/Evid_Based_Climate_Sci/Ev_Based_Climate_Sci_Chap11.pdfIt has been proposed that the current minimum be named the "Eddy Minimum" after Jack Eddy. John Allen "Jack" Eddy was an American astronomer who published professionally under the name John A. Eddy but much of the content referencing him can be found under his nickname Jack which he preferred to use. In 1976 Dr. Eddy published a landmark paper in Science titled "The Maunder Minimum" where, using the Nineteenth Century works of Edward W. Maunder and Gustav Spörer, he identified a 70-year period from 1645 to 1715 as a time when solar activity all but stopped.Wikipedia"Albert" doesn't deserve elevation to scholar status, as he has spent his capital accumulating wealth by being exactly the opposite. A crook and a scoundrel. Perhaps he can be known for the outcome of "the Turning" that follows an American Administration's failure to act on "obvious" science. To decimate reliable energy and food production on the threshold of a possible/likely major cold event, flies in the face of reason and duty. The gore that follows will be ignobly won. And as for wines, an "Eddy Edelfaule" doesn't quite roll off the tongue as nicely as a "Maunder Merlot".  Gore Gulp? |

Soil moisture is low west of Mississippi. The low RH will allow wider temperature swings.
The normal variations in a semi arid area are quit wide. Lower H2O vapor, they get really wide.

Grain markets were strong. MSM has invited Dr and lawyer types.
The western US is dry as well as Canadian Prarie.
Could be interesting.

Things are always poorly reported when the all theory no practice mathematical modelers get involved. They start inventing concepts like 'tele-connection' meaning we can see a pattern but not explain it. |

Things are always poorly reported when the all theory no practice mathematical modelers get involved. They start inventing concepts like 'tele-connection' meaning we can see a pattern but not explain it. Or will not (dare not) explain it if the explanatory trail leads to politically / socially unacceptable operational forces. This is how bad science fiction such as STRATOSPHERIC AEROSOL INJECTION becomes operational public policy. The Star Wars ride at Disney World never crashes. Ever wonder about that? www.geoengineeringmonitor.org/2021/02/stratospheric_aerosol_injection/Now modelers have to model. I understand that ... if we exclude free will and a moral ethic ... the possibility that there are some things that one just should not do. And even now, we have a natural experiment underway with the uptic in global volcanic activity and the increase in cosmic rays with their possible interaction with or forcing of increasing global cloud cover ... and their effects on global cooling. Let them model that! No doubt, somewhere in the deepest, darkest vaults of the defense intelligence agencies, there are Morlocks working on just such simulations. Are they aimed at the best interests of the American people? Or do they look more like a Dr Strangelove remake? They should definitely be brought into the daylight of public exposure, and debated forcefully. This has all the makings of a new thread. |

But then I haven't been on that one  In the long ago past I can remember signing out aircraft for flights and you could almost see the one chosen sag on the line with a silent 'oh shit'. It did get me used to handling minor failures though  |
