“According to British meteorologist Hubert Lamb, the average growing season in England is already two weeks shorter than it was before 1950. Since the late 1950°s, Iceland’s hay crop yield has dropped about 25 percent, while pack ice in waters around Iceland and Greenland ports is becoming the hazard to navigation it was during the 17th and 18th centuries.
At lower latitudes, as in the Sahel, the amount of prec available during certain phases of the growing season is critical to food production. The kind of climatic variation now in progress includes changes in the tracks of precipitation-producing storms through major grain-producing regions.
In India, for example, before the global warming trend of 1890-1940, severe drought struck about once every four years. With the warming, however, and more abundant monsoon rains, drought came only once every 18 years or so, greatly increasing India’s grain production. Some climatologists think that if the current cooling trend continues, drought will occur more frequently
India—indeed, through much of Asia, the world’s hungriest continent.
Archaeologists have related the decline of a number of ancient civilizations to climatic changes that brought recurrent drought to previously fertile crop land.”

the quote from the (of course) Harvard expert in the (of course) Scientific American
says all what global warming is really all about.
Now that’s interesting that shorter growing seasons as result of global cooling were an argument 50 years ago,
but the benefits of longer growing seasons as result of global warming is never an argument now.
Some details become irrelevant when the wind changes direction.
Perfect.
Sahel drought is during a cold AMO, but the AMO is always warmer during centennial solar minima. The solar wind was much stronger in the mid 1970’s and mid 1980’s.
