Yes, We Have No Bananas! We Have No Bananas Today!
MARCH 12, 2024

Can the absurd Matt McGrath get any more absurd?
 

Bananas are set to get more expensive as climate change hits a much-loved fruit, one of the world’s top experts from the industry tells BBC News.

Pascal Liu, senior economist at the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation, says climate impacts pose an "enormous threat" to supply, compounding the impacts of fast-spreading diseases.

The World Banana Forum meets in Rome on Tuesday to discuss the challenges.

Some UK shops recently experienced banana shortages due to sea storms.


The UK alone imports around 5 billion bananas ever year, with around 90% sold through the major supermarkets.

It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Here in Michigan, the banana industry is nil because its too cold much of the year, I assume.  So, wouldn't warmer temps mean better growing seasons for bananas, create excesses, and lower prices? :pondering:

'Man made CO2 emissions' equals more CO2 which is what plants survive on.
More CO2 equals more bananas and more food in general.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Can't take the heat? Get out of the kitchen.

Ir was not unusual in the past for species of trees to grow where they no longer do today, because the climate changed. The only Redwoods in North Dakota have been petrified since they grew here, and I'd bet that humans didn't have diddley-squat to do with that episode of climate change.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

You know the man, Joe Biden  told me about it on the bus
As it went up the hill out of Scranton, Pennsylvania
He shrugged his shoulders, he shook his head, and he said
And this is exactly what he said; C'mon man
 it sure must've been something
Just imagine thirty thousand pounds of bananas.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

I liked Harry's stories, too.  Too bad about the Yugo on the Jersey Turnpike.
