Yeah, so to solve this issue of increasing food costs let’s create brand spanking new taxes. Because after all, adding costs to the supply chain is the surest way to decrease costs.....

We'll just have to start using mine shafts for farming. Nuclear reactors could provide power almost indefinitely. Greenhouses could maintain plant life. Turkeys could be bred and slaughtered.

Could Climate Change Ruin Thanksgiving Dinner?

It could, the weather is unusually cold in California! We like our T-Days sunny and mild like it used to be ten years ago.

Looks like we still have that rogue CO2 fueled cold dome hovering over California.

I'm glad I didn't live during the Medieval warming period. Apparently turkey meat back then sucked.

Or maybe it could have sucked or possibly might have sucked or then it may have sucked.

Oh what the heck, we're doomed.

Didn't I see a recipe for cockroaches and chickpeas. I hope man-made global warming doesn't affect the taste of cockroaches.

This is perfect. Now I can wish you a Happy Thanksgiving on a thread from the day before the big event.

It never got above 1.4 degrees here on Thanksgiving. A little global warming would have been nice.

I’m just glad the deep-fried T-giving turkey fad has simmered down (so to speak), I was getting tired of the stories of house fires caused by wussies trying the maneuver in their garages with the door open.
