When are you people going to wake up to the destruction being wrought by climate change and stop keeping your houses at 73 degrees?! Look at what you're doing to the environment!

Supersave, a convenience store in north London, is feeling the effects of Britain’s vegetable shortage — it is stocking lettuce from South America and selling it at a loss.
The market price of courgettes and lettuce has tripled in recent days, to £5.99 a kilo and £2.40 a kilo respectively.
During the winter, the UK relies on networks of growers across southern Europe for its out-of-season vegetables. But extreme weather in Spain and Italy has shrunk this year’s harvest and caused a surge in prices.
Tesco, the biggest UK chain, limited each customer to three iceberg lettuces, and Asda, the third-biggest by market share, is rationing aubergines, broccoli, courgettes and some cabbages.

I know we need to change our ways, famine did not exist until after 1980.

It's a loss leader to get traffic in the store and sell other products at a net profit.
Limits reduce the loss and prevent competition from buying their product cheaper than going rate.
Stores often require a minimum purchase as well.
I did like all that fluffy white global warming all over that field!

So, Global Warming is making it snow.

Yes. No matter how the weather changes, it's an indication of global warming.

Oh yeah, that's right, let's never forget that "climate change"/"global warming" is a religion to these whackjobs. And, just like Jesus is the answer to Christians --

Yes, but since I watched Star Wars, I am far more concerned with the the Deathstar!

Good one on the picture. As I was reading your post I was wondering just how in the hell could warmer weather be a detriment to growing vegetables, then the picture. Posted on 2/8/17 at 9:27 am to cokebottleag
Bringing in more illegals should help. You know immigrants are a source of innovation. Those middle eastern folks know how to grow lettuce, goats, and camels.

And this is connected to unnatural causes, how exactly?
Global warming religionists are some of the most gullible imo.

That, and the possible effects of changing farming techniques to be more "Earth Friendly"?
Posted on 2/8/17 at 9:31 am to cokebottleag
I've got a great idea - to combat the food shortage, let's invite millions of refugees to come live with us!
Good thing it's only women, children and the elderly that are coming...they don't eat that much.

Uh.. is it ok if I keep it at 68 during the day and 64 at night? Unless my wife gets cold during the winter. Then she flips it up to say... 77.
