      Oh, so you have proof they are harvesting unripe wheat? (Potatoes and beat are harvested in October. And it has started raining. )

      Droogte stuwt prijs oude aardappeloogst - Boerderij.nl[^] Zeeuwse boeren oogsten mais eerder vanwege ernstige droogte - Dit is Midden-Zeeland[^]

      With the prospect of the further drought of the coming weeks, many farmers have chosen eggs for their money. They decided to harvest their crops earlier, so that the damage is limited. Because of the heavy rain in the beginning of the season and the prolonged drought, the crops did not get a chance to grow. Because of the drought the corn plants even dry out and they do not have the yield they normally have. The size of the damage of the drought in total is not yet known.

      Those who planted wine-grapes are having an unexpected good harvest. So while food-prices go up, at least we'll have enough wine.

        So the potato price spiked this week at 9 euros a 100 kgs, instead of 4, and that is a catastrophe is it? But regardless, what has one years freak event, repeated ever few decades or so, got to do with climate?

          Not enough to save the harvest, and the measures put in place by the government to save water still remain active. Pests like blue algae thrive; causing a lot of fish to die. Must be beneficial, because "you said so" :suss:

          As explained a thousand times before; it is not a freak-year, there is a trend. You can look at the trend by plotting the raw measurements in Excel.

            :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: It is a freak year. Hasnt been this hot since 1976. Before that was in the 30s I believe. It is a freak year. The trend in global crop yields is up.

            There is a general trend in rising temperature since the 60s, but you are talking about a year that has been very dry. And that is the problem for crops, not the temperature. The actual temperature for July was not that hot: http://www.drroyspencer.com/wp-content/uploads/UAH_LT_1979_thru_July_2018_v6.jpg

            So moved on to cows have you? They are fed on grass. This year farmers are using winter silage because the grass has pretty much given up due to the drought. So, how much has the p;rice of milk gone up by? HOw much has the price of beef gone up by? Like your potatoes, that spiked at 9 euros a 100 kgs, foir a day or so, where is the catastrophe you promised?

              No, it isn't. It is a technique to prevent you from rehashing all that has been written in the previous threads.

              Hot summers usually come with less rain. Go ahead and explain to our farmers how it is not a problem :thumbsup:

              Prices move slower than that; todays meat in the supermarket is not eating todays gras. Wait a few months and prices will move :)

              Given the current trend, I'd say it is only a few years away.

It has started raining.

                  Doesn't differ from everybody elses; people call it a freak-year because the weather seems freaky - not because it is an exception. Raw measurements are available, and it shows that this year is still in line with the warming trend.

                  Prices in the supermarket react slower than the commodities exchange. The recent rain might have given investors the idea that there will be more produce, but that is why we call it "speculation".

                  I didn't say we wouldn't be around; but the standard of living will decline, due to a combination of GW and economics. MIT puts it near 2020; I'm a bit more optimistic.

                      It is not according to the data, it is in line with a warming trend. Doesn't stop the general public from saying that we have had yet another freak year.

                      Yes, eventually. Supermarkets (and other vendors) also tend to "smear out" the price-raise over a longer time-period, so the customer doesn't notice too much.

                        So you are retracting your 'data' comment?

                        No empiracle evidence then. You do know how science works right? It needs empiracle data? Since there hasnt been a trend in rainfall, over any of the warming, and cooling periods of the last century, and yes, post war cooling was very real, it is fairly safe to say that in the temperature range we are experiencing rainfall does not correlate with temperature. Thus rendering your statement that warm = less rain invalid. Also your statement about 'it has been documented, they teach this in schools'. Utter BS. Oh, so the economics is limited to the the price of food is it? OK, lets agree on that so we can have a good laugh at you in a few years when catastrophe doesnt happen. Oh, and for the record, can we have a definition of catastrophe from you?

                          Learn to write the word before you use it. "Empirical". And yes, there is data that shows the growing of the desert, shrinking of the rainforest, and changing rain-patterns.

                          For me personally, catastrophe does not exist; I have no stake in the outcome, and do not care either way. It is not used in that subjective way, since communicating requires using the same definition - the one in da dictionary :)

                            So now it isnt a freak year? Wow, you finally agree with me. Did you finally look at the UAH data I linked that shows 2018 is not that hot?

                              2018 isn't finished, and we have set some new records. It is not a freak-year, since it is not an exception. It is in line with the trend, and as such, was expected.

                                OK, so just up to now, is it a freak year or not? Still waiting for the data that shows: 1) Expanding desert 2) Shrinking rain forest (due to warming and not chainsaws) 3) Change in rainfall pattern Thanks for your definition of catastrophe. We can have a good laugh in a few years.

                                  It is not according to data. It is warmer, yes, but that was expected. It will not be a "one off" event.

                                  You can wait for an eternity for all I care :D Also, for rain it matters not if the rainforest is disappearing due to warming or chainsaws.

                                    It is not according to data. It is warmer, yes, but that was expected. It will not be a "one off" event.

                                    You can wait for an eternity for all I care :D Also, for rain it matters not if the rainforest is disappearing due to warming or chainsaws.

                                    Ah, of course. I didnt expect you to. You make statements you cant substantiate with data of any kind. Well, you know what that makes you I am sure, and you dont need me to spell it our for you.

                                      Already done so; free download at the KNMI. Some other countries provide similar. So, I do not provide it, since it is not "my" data; they provide it, as an aggragate of the weather stations.

                                      Always the sofist; on the contrary, I'm using data that is publicly available and used by other institutes. Your arguments here (to convince the coders!) are mostly hit-and-run stuff that can be easily be dismissed; sometimes even by your own arguments.

                                      It makes me the one with the raw facts, and you the one that keeps cherry-picking to find anything that remotely can be used to create more confusion. You are putting a lot of unpaid effort in this; so who is paying for your sandwich? :)

                                          Search CodeProject? Why would I give you a link I already gave you?
