Climate Change 3: Whatever you do don't call it a twatwaffle

[dxmnkd316]

Problem is that while those areas will have the right temperatures for being breadbaskets, they don’t get enough sunlight. So they’ll never be as productive as today’s breadbaskets in Kansas et al.

I was actually thinking about this all day. The growing season has four major factors.

1. When does stuff thaw/dry out?
2. How warm does it get?
3. How much water does it get?
4. How much light?

all four of those are almost ideal for thr current breadbasket. The problem is #4 and the second half of #1. Both will be limiting factors for northern climates moving forward over the next several decades. Even if they did have the sun and temp, the wet season - I think - isn't going anywhere. You're still going to have to wait for the fields to dry out before you can turn them over and seed them.

For how long is the questionable part as well. Illinois is drying up.

This was actually a talking point when New Lenox (where I grew up and parents still live) made the switch to Lake Michigan water 20 (?) years ago. It's been known that the groundwater wouldn't be sustainable, especially if development continued on the early 2000s trend.

I read about tbe whale issue, that is legit iirc. Not that that should stop us from developing them though.

Whales died off coast of nj during construction of windmill farm. There isn’t conclusive evidence yet of windmills killing them. Could be something with the construction obv

that’s what I’ve seen, but not gonna spend more time digging on it.

I'd rather a windmill kill a whale or two rather than boil them all alive or acidify the oceans and make whale ceviche.

Oh I agree that is why I said the whale deaths aren't enough to offset the technology.

Aren’t whales endangered? So yeah fuck the whales. Everyone knows it’s Maine lobster fisherman that are killing them anyway.

The town of Leominster, MA, received almost 10" of rain yesterday. Sections of Rt 2, a major east/west road, was under 4+ feet of water last night.

Start with Wrexham.

Nope.

Nope.

It wouldn’t be any loss.
