Yeah, go ahead blame the crop loss on the farmers who I am sure did whatever they could to save their crop and not blame climate change. You and hoodat are a hoot
Blame it on Mrs. Murphy's Vintage Volkswagen!  :silly: :silly: :silly:

If the hens won't lay, the cow won't produce milk, the car won't start, hangnails, toe cheese, whatever, we now have the universal boogeyman of Climate Change.

What? Peach growers can't see that the trees have bloomed? They can't run smudge pots or other anti freezing methods to protect their crops? Sounds like poor farming to me...But: "Climate Change" !! (maybe they can get a grant...)

Yes but in this case the Georgia dept of agriculture blamed it on a abnormally warm winter which caused the buds to come  on early, the normal freeze happened and the buds died. 
This was not a late frost/freeze.
It is well documented if you want to do the research  yourself , ga peach growers, ga dept of agriculture on and on.

Yep.

Have you never heard of a "late frost"? We get them into June here, most years.

Sometimes the trees bloom early and their yield is affected by subsequent frosts. Perfectly natural and hardly a sign that the Cli
Yes but in this case the Georgia dept of agriculture blamed it on a abnormally warm winter which caused the buds to come  on early, the normal freeze happened at the time it normally does and the buds died.

Are you for real?  Yes, freeze happens every year but the buds were on the trees earlydue to a abnormally warm winter. If the winter was not abnormally warm the buds would not have been on the trees and when the normal freeze comes they would not have died. Budding happens after the normal freeze each year
Have you never heard of a "late frost"? We get them into June here, most years.

Sometimes the trees bloom early and their yield is affected by subsequent frosts. Perfectly natural and hardly a sign that the Climate is going awry in any sort of trend. In Bath County, VA there is a little valley known as "Little Egypt" among the locals. In the 1800s, a late frost wiped out the crops in the Back Creek Valley, and those in that little valley fed the larger population of Back Creek Valley, resulting in the name (after Pharoah's grain stores feeding in times of famine).
That's just one example, and hardly an isolated incident. These events are only new causes for panic for those who have no historical perspective and think these sort of events are unique and some sort of portent of evil. If it's early enough, and you can, you replant. Sh*t happens.

Do you understand how freezing Spring temperatures kill peach buds?

Are you for real?  Yes, freeze happens every year but the buds were on the trees early due to a abnormally warm winter. If the winter was not abnormally warm the buds would not have developed  on the trees and when the normal freeze  came  they would not have died. Budding happens after the normal freeze each year
