FOOD. Is it going to be flashpoint in USA?
Hi Gordon,
I've read that this freaky weather could be an effect of the "La Nina" effect in the Pacific Ocean, which is a periodic cooling of the ocean surface temperatures... Apparently, this can wreak havoc with the weather in many places, including the USA and also Australia...
The freezing weather in the USA, and the flooding and cyclones in Australia and flooding in Brazil, are all possibly effects of the La Nina weather pattern...
Here's an article I found about it...
La Niņa brings ice, snow and cold to Midwest (http://www.contracostatimes.com/california/ci_17272586?nclick_check=1)
By the way, food prices are expected to go up in Australia too, as many food crops in various places have been wiped out by floods...
