Climate change threatens cranberries – Will you be disappointed by that?

The sequel to the Rud Ridiculae series.

By Rud Istvan

Once you know the messaging methods that climate alerters use, they become very predictable and easy to mock.

Weather events become climates. Too hot, too cold, too wet, too dry… all of these are man’s evil CO gas₂ cause climate change.

The alarmists are always that climate change threatens important seasonal customs. Since this week is Thanksgiving in America, it must be threatened by climate change. And from the very beginning, we learned from (among others) WaPo, NatGeo, YaleClimateChange, CBS and Yahoo News that it really is; Climate change threatens the traditional New England cranberry garnish at Thanksgiving.

National Geographic’s illustrated article is captioned, “Climate change is coming for cranberries in New England“. It says hotter summers and colder winters are the culprits. Well, human-caused global warming (aka AGW).

On the other hand, Daily Progress’ says that colder winters are the culprit. This explains why human-caused global warming translates into climate change.

WaPo says the problem is late spring frost and mild fall harvest conditions. Who knows CO₂ could change the seasons, miraculously overcome the enormous inertia of the Earth’s orbital tilt? Alarmists claim to rely on ‘climate science’. Stupid ‘science’.

Yale says the culprit is rainfall variability, too much and not enough. You see, cranberries need a Goldilocks climate before AGW.

Regardless of the details, just remember Climate change is bad for cranberries.

A quick google on the subject turned up no less than 11 different articles/videos in November 2021 about the climate endangering cranberries on just the first page of search results. In the first two pages, it also appears 7 similar articles from November 2020. The cranberry alarm has become a Thanksgiving tradition!

I’m curious how long the cranberry alarm goes off every year around Thanksgiving. Well, at least since November 21, 2012 (I didn’t bother to search further in google search results), where an organization called ecoRI News (at ecori.org) wrote about cranberries. affected by ‘climate anomalies’. It says cranberry bogs need acidic peat soil, abundant fresh water and sand — yes, and Cape Cod has plenty of them. But bogs are geographical, not climate related. Then the article said cranberries need winter, spring, summer, and fall as well — all four New England berries are abundantly available. It’s not clear exactly what the dreaded cranberry’s ‘unusual climate’ is; normal thunderbolts come from car wrecks, which most ‘science’ about climate change is certainly the same.

Or, as my favorite Richard Lindzen slide showed 13 years ago, you can’t tell climate change in Boston, Massachusetts — close to the ground of Thanksgiving exactly 400 years ago. But you can certainly distinguish its seasons. So cranberries in the ”extreme climate” of Massachusetts are still abundant.
