First line of the first paragraph: “We all survived the apparent ‘climate apocalypse’ corporate media warned about this summer with endless headlines about how the world would imminently erupt into a giant fireball.”
…yeah, ok. I didn’t read any further than that. Biased source, possibly more interested in bashing the media establishment than forecasting the weather. However accurate the predictions, though, his writing is inflammatory enough that I’d call this obviously political if it were posted on here.
I don’t like this news! @Lobstah
I’m in Southern Ontario, I have had outdoor plants survive cold/frost with my help before. And yes, the growing and ripening slows down with the cold.
I don’t know if you had a grow going outdoors last year, but November 2022 was unseasonably warm.
I made it through a few frosts that October, but when the warm weather came back the plants took off again and I was able to harvest ripe plants.
On the opposite side of the pacific the El Niño is causing very hot and dry conditions, on the east coast of Australia we are in for a dry season with high fire risk. Gonna be an interesting year that’s for sure!
