Hard freeze
kills 95 to 100 percent of Alsace vineyard buds – Video
Temperatures dropped to -7 ° C, reports a reader in France.“About the frosts in different places around Europe in the last days, there have been severe frosts in France in fruit and vine too,” writes Philippe in Alsace.“Severe losses in vine in Champagne and Chablis (despite fighting with burning fuel or paraffine in the fields ), Alsace and even in south of France in Languedoc and Provence.“The crops had 2 weeks advance and the clear sky in the last days allowed these spring frosts. Main frost in Alsace on the early morning of 20th of april, and then on the 21st too. 5°C to 7 °C under zero on the 20th depending on the places.

Great article
Ha typical of what the geoengineering folks try to do, disrupt the weather but I'm sure you'll disagree as I have learned by now.
of course I disagree.
It's obviously climate change.
Of course it's climate change, the question is what causes it, mainly if you consider that CO2 contributes even less to the greenhouse effect than water vapour! I remember we had blue skies 20 years ago, now they are mostly gray and not so deep. I take a lot of pictures because what is happening in the sky is just nuts.
CO2 is an effect of warming, not a cause.
oh..and it follows the warming by a thousand years.
Hmm why is that effect?
Thermal Inertia.
When the water is cool(er) MASSIVE amounts of CO2 more easily dissolves into it. 2/3 of the surfaces area of the earth is water covered. That's a LOT of absorption area..it's also a LOT of mass. Thermal mass. It does not change easily.
When the water warms...it releases CO2 and plants thrive, as do those who eat them, or those who eat those who eat those who eat them.Us. BUT due to the thermal inertia (it takes a long time for the water to warm) it takes eight hundred to a thousand years, after the water begins to warm, for the CO2 to be released...
This can be verified by 200K years of ice cores from greenland and antarctica. The data supports the hypothesis.
Fun Fact
During the last glaciation the water was cool for so long that the water absorbed damn near all of the CO2 in the air.
If the amount of CO2 declines below 170ppm the plants die. If they do then everything else does too. It then follows that the environmental movement is attempting to cause the extinction of all life on earth.
That annoys me.
