I'm just hoping that they don't die from the frosts.

So the Climate (or maybe it's just the Seasons) has changed...........
Who or what caused it? Who cares, it's already here.

Yes one winter is of course a representative sample size...

Actually it's happened before.
Not with these particular trees, but with some others in the yard.
Do you Drive around with your eyes closed?
Have you not noticed the weird behaviour of trees and plants over the past couple of years?
So what do you put that down too?

Last week was our last harvesting of tomatoes in Hobart
The Australian consumption of brandy dropped by 50% in one year, that is an important figure

this came in only two hours ago....

No **** stirring there. It looks as if it will be unseasonally warm.

Yep. Over the last decade plus, winter has been getting shorter and shorter. Now we go from autumn to spring. This year, it has noticeably gone to spring before autumn has finished. Here is a photo of a couple of pear trees in my street (same variety) that was taken a couple of weeks ago. One is still losing it's leaves whilst the other is in full bloom.

Climate change is certainly happening but who or what is the cause no one really knows.
But there are an awful lot of lovely jollies and many many very highly paid soft jobs going for the warmists so we humans must be the cause.
As I've said many times before, we should be concentrating on cutting pollution of all kinds and restricting population growth in the third world. That of course is totally unacceptable without resorting to Nazi type tactics so who knows what the answer is.

Perhaps the answer is not restricting the population growth but restricting the manufacturing and consumption of useless material things.
When we thing about perhaps it is only 20% of the population that pollute the world demanding the manufacturing of non essential goods.
Just a thought............

It is well known amongst the majority of climate scientists the human race is contributing to climate change in a significant way.
