If we had global cooling for 2 consecutive years, where all the crops failed due to freezing in the summer?

Question

How would that affect the Human population?

Answer 1

And what dire predictions would flood the airwaves?

Answer 2

Hi,

It will take 3 years.

Answer 3

From 1550 to 1850 AD global temperatures were at their coldest since the beginning of the Holocene. Scientists call this period the Little Ice Age. During the Little Ice Age, the average annual temperature of the Northern Hemisphere was about 1.0 degree Celsius lower than today. During the period 1580 to 1600, the western United States experienced one of its longest and most severe droughts in the last 500 years. Cold weather in Iceland from 1753 and 1759 caused 25% of the population to die from crop failure and famine. Newspapers in New England were calling 1816 the year without a summer.

From looking at history the results of a great freeze would be disasterous.

Ok, What you do is do a search and type in the following searchers:

Food Shortage

China Food Shortage: Below is the Link

UN Food Shortage

And make sure you do the search for only the past week or you will have tomuch to read.  Just so you know the world food storage/grains are down to 50days.

Answer 5

We had "global cooling" in 1991-1992.  Didn't you notice it?  Also in 1999 and 1982.

In each of those times weather conditions caused a short term decrease in temperature. And EVERY TIME, global warming came back, stronger than ever, as we produced ever increasing amounts of greenhouse gases.

There's simply no chance we're going to have enough cooling to cause widespread "freezing in summer".  Cold weather in Spring and Fall can damage citrus crops, though.  It happens all the time, although somewhat less frequently these days, due to global warming.

Answer 6

nothing will ever happen to the crops unless there is a significant event that causes global cooling, like a large volcano.  

Incidentally, no warming will ever effect the crops, it would only be able to help us.
