Some of these are proven bullshit. Some of it is not. In our area they have destroyed some crops, but not many, and I suspect it was due to pest or disease. Locally, these decisions are not taken lightly. To be honest though, the floods, drought, and general weather bullshit is doing a good enough job on top of CHINA buying every loving thing under the sun to screw us till 2025. In short, grow a mighty garden and look up cat recipes.
