"Death Sentence" for Food Production: Grand Solar Minimum
2019 starts with a cold bang: farmers in Sonora, Mexico are lighting tires on fire to keep their crops warm. Massive cold, frosts, and snows have descended also in Europe and Asia, bringing a "death sentence" to modern agriculture. Christian explores the Grand Solar Minimum's influence on a weak jet stream, triggering these temperature and precipitation extremes, as well as shares resources on how to start germinating seeds for this coming growing season.
Apologies for the audio buzz. :(

It's just so freaking hard to know what to believe anymore...
I'm erring on precaution, there seems to be a frighteningly growing trend of crop failures. Here's some of my old posts of me attempting to get ahead of the game :)

I definitely agree 100 on the food/water issues becoming more difficult in the coming years. Also I mayhave come off as dismissive towards the whole grand solar minimumthing, but I'm not, just was commenting on just how much info there is out there - often completely contradictory things too. I'm sure you've noticed. Regardless thanks for the reply, I may have to start being more precautious myself... seems like you're not the only one doing so. But theres equally a lot of people oblivious to it all... worst thing that could happen is you grow a green thumb for trying though so may as well. 🙂
At the very least it keeps my mind and body occupied as a 'house-husband' ;)
Plus, it gives me a warm feeling inside when I've managed to nurture something into life.
Much appreciate your reply to,
Robster :)
