but...but...It’s the hottest year on record, or some such BS

[TigersEye]

0bviously the expected effect of Runaway Global Warming!!!

[jjotto]

Israel citrus seems to have the same problem. It’s spread by a small insect.

[Jane Long]

😂😂 same thought!

[Lazamataz]

IT’S AN AGEDDON-MAGEDDON!!!

[Chode]

thank you...

[montag813]

Where is BEEKS???

[Flaming Conservative]

I assume citrus growers plant extras to allow for the freeze that hits them almost every year. And though I’ve seen the scare articles show up each time, I’ve never seen a shortage of oranges OR orange juice. Nonetheless, LORD have mercy on Florida citrus growers.

What? No BOOM-SHAKA-LACKA-AGEDDON-MAGEDDON?

No IN-A-GADDA-DA-VIDA-MAGEDDON?

[eyeamok]

How is this possible? Global Warming Science says it is Impossible and we are about to undergo spontaneous combustion on a planetary scale??

Can somebody ask AlGore to explain?

[SamAdams76]

What if most of Florida was to go below zero this weekend and what if Miami got hit with two feet of snow?

Would that cause problems?

[Keyhopper]

It snowed in Hialeah January 19th 1977
I was in high school.

[BiglyCommentary]

I think growers spray trees to deal with a temp freeze like this.

[j.havenfarm]

Seriously. People’s livelihoods are on the line. What do we need a stupid cutesy name for everything. To your short list I would also add “holic,” as in “chocoholic”

[ProtectOurFreedom]

YEAH! Definitely add “holic.” That drives me nuts, too.

[RetiredTexasVet]

I’m sorry and agree with you, but the new normal is Weather Fear Porn. Formally, an Artic Cold front has be fear-ized as a Polar Vortex Atomic Cyclone Bomb named Freddy Kruger and a Northesterner Snow Storm is an Apocalypse Armageddon Cyclone Bomb Janson Voorhees, etc.

[genetic homophobe]

Yes from Asia apparently but it’s no joke. Sad to see the groves these days. No cure they just hack out the trees and plant new ones.

[j.havenfarm]

On another thread we’re told “milkflation” is setting in. Honestly. So stupid.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

And, here on the West Coast, we now get “Atmospheric Rivers” aka big rainstorms blowing in from the Pacific.

Climate fear porn. Weather fear porn. Forest fire fear porn. COVID fear porn. Mask fear porn. The Press has discovered that they can ramp up “If it bleeds it leads” a million fold to keep their business afloat. Hysteria sells.

How much more fear porn crap can we take?

[JohnnyP]

How cold does it have to get to kill the pythons?
