No, it's a trend. Growing season is getting tighter and tighter every year because it's getting colder. China's having the same problem, I think Eastern Europe and Brazil, too.
I wonder what it would be like if people actually talked about things civilly instead of assuming anyone talking about the cold is saying climate change is a government operative. Or bringing Greta into it.
@jeremy- that is why it is now referred to as “climate change” and not “global warming.” People often misunderstood that in a complex weather system on a global scale that the rising temperature on a global average can cause more than warm weather. What we experience in climate is the complex interaction of winds and pressure, heat, moisture, and how natter reacts under specific sets of conditions. Winds primarily come from cold meeting hot. The more extreme the differences- the more extreme the effects.
There are certain currents which are relatively stable and tend to be higher in the atmosphere which help dictate climate. As the polar regions get warmer, the temperature difference and zones of interaction between their cool air and the hot air in higher latitudes changes. The climate in various regions is largely effected by this and geological features. Just as one side of a mountain is likely to see less rain than the other due to how precipitation works, or mountains can shield or amplify winds- high altitude currents and the temperature of the air they carry tend to “shield” or amplify the climate of a given region.
One possible effect of this,depending on the many complexities of a given location- is that droughts or floods can last longer, winters can be longer and harsher or summers can be. Snow might fall where traditionally it hasn’t been able to- or may fall less or not at all where it is usually abundant.
The statement that shorter periods for cultivating and harvesting crops is occurring supports the current theories of climate change. Climate change is like gravity. One can believe in it or not. We know the climate changes. It’s changed from the time of the dinosaurs to now. Some argue man made climate change is not real. Evidence doesn’t support that belief but that’s a different debate than denying climate change entirely.

"Why would you listen to the vast majority of scientists? Clearly those 4 guys bankrolled by Big Oil are way more trustworthy!"-famousone logic.
Did I say that? Motherfuckers like you make me want to take the opposite stance just to spite you and your kind. Want to affect some real positive change in the world? Don't chase off your allies. So fuck you and the horse you rode in on. Just admit it, you don't care about helping anything, you just want to place yourself above everybody who dares to not hold all your values and opinions.
@famousone- I got where you were coming from. We happen to be allies here but even if we weren’t I can’t say you said anything offensive or were rude. Well stated fact- whatever the intended conclusion. So I mean- you cake here to speak and I support that even if we did disagree because you said something, and you didn’t tear anyone down or bring hate or anything. I don’t see a reason to downvote that no matter how one feels about the statement.
I know it's a problem, I'm just not a fan of the proposed solutions, nor the unfounded ridicule.
Really I was making a joke about some places being "too cool", then I was explaining the joke to someone who drew the wrong conclusion.
Then I called out the high and mighty all knowing savior on their bullshit.
Naw. I get you. I just wanted to be positive. I have no beef with either of y’all and don’t fancy any. But I’m sorry you are here and got negativity where personally I don’t see a a call for it. You’re doing you and not hurting anyone. I just wanted to say that I thought it was a good comment and I’m sorry that you experienced negativity for a positive message based on preconceived notions about you which are in this case Illfounded.
@famousone literally everyone understood you on the first comment except a few waywards. Those who did, and managed to scroll past your second comment, my comment, and all of guest_ 's comments and still come to the wrong conclusion have clearly spent too much time out in the sun themselves.

On the plus side, they've proven their point about the dangers of climate change. On the downside, they've melted the entirety of their brain cells down into one dysfunctional mass in the process.
It's more like growing seasons are acting like prolonged periods. Normally a period is somewhere between 6-8 days a month; the swings are now being felt between 10-11 days and in some cases 2-3 days. The unbalance will just continue to escalate, meaning less-hardy crops won't be able to survive as long. Uncertainty in the system and the reliability of said system go hand in hand... or vagina in vagina. Or... we can just say fuck it and Mary was a virgin. \<_</ \>_>/ Dance Dance Revelation yo! \>_>/ \<_</
I think a common misconception about climate change is it means that the earth is warming up (this is true) but it also means that weather is general is going to become more extreme. So, winter will become way colder, summers will become much hotter and the changing of the seasons is going to become less predictable. This is turn is going to mess with every organisms biological clock as we can't adapt that quickly to a change so sudden and violent.
We will be seeing some crazy changes in our life times. The wright brothers flew in 1903. Think about the changes we will see in the next 80 years. The planet will be changing, somewhat thanks to humans, more than any other generation in history

But yeah, most likely. Particularly China, I imagine.
