Current climate modeling fails inside three days.. That's 72 hours.. Beyond that there is no chance any climate model will be within the error boundaries. As a meteorologist and an atmospheric physicist I have to use the past to see what our future holds.2. Our cold winter, that is coming, will be a serious wake up call to you morons.Canada is already experiencing frost and killing freezes in its grain belt, a full five weeks early. This is an indication that our growing seasons are shortening ALREADY. This will be the third year in a row.
....
If Canada gets a cold winter THIS YEAR it will be an exception in a Long Term WARMING Trend was has Drastically INCREASED the size of their Grain Growing Belt.

A Warming Climate Brings New Crops to Frigid Zones
Longer growing seasons help lead northern farmers to plow up forests for crops such as corn that were once hard to grow in chilly territories
A Warming Climate Brings New Crops to Frigid Zones
Wall St Journal - Jacob Bunge - Nov. 25, 2018
LA CRETE, Alberta—The Farm Belt is marching Northward.
Upper Alberta is bitter cold much of the year, and remote. Not much grows other than the spruce and poplar that spread out a hundred miles around Highway 88 north toward La Crete. Signs warn drivers to watch for moose and make sure their gas tanks are filled. Farms have produced mostly wheat, canola and barley. Summers were so short farmer Dicky Driedger used to tease his wife about wasting garden space growing corn.
Today, Mr. Driedger is the one growing corn. So are many other northern-Alberta farmers who are plowing up forests to create fields, which lets them grow still more of it. The new prospect of warmer-weather crops is helping lift farmland prices, with an acre near La Crete selling for nearly Five times what it fetched 10 years ago.
One reason is the Warming Planet and Longer growing seasons. Temperatures around La Crete are 3.6° Fahrenheit warmer on average annually than in 1950, Canadian federal climate records show, and the growing season is nearly two weeks longer.
“A few degrees doesn’t sound like much,” said Mr. Driedger, 56, who has farmed for three decades in the area roughly as far north as Juneau, Alaska. “Maybe it doesn’t make such a big difference on wheat or canola, but on corn, it sure does.” In August, he watched a tractor-size tiller yank tree roots from the earth, which were to be piled up and ignited in giant bonfires to create new fields.

It is hard to predict precisely the effects of a changing planet, but the world of business and finance is trying to put prices on it. Agriculture is among industries on the front lines because a warming climate changes the crops that farmers can plant, affecting the productivity and value of their land.
Agricultural giants such as Bayer AG , Cargill Inc., DowDuPont Inc.and Bunge Ltd. are pushing to develop hardier crops, plan new logistics networks and offer new technologies designed to help farmers adapt. DowDuPont, maker of Pioneer brand seeds, said its scientists are developing crops that mature faster and in drier conditions for farmers in regions growing Hotter. It is marketing weather services to help farmers better anticipate storms and weather-driven crop disease.
Along with water availability, “no challenge is more important to our industry—and our world—than climate change,” said DowDuPont agriculture-business head..
