“Record floods devastated a wide swath of the Farm Belt across Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota and several other states,” says this article on coldclimatechange.com.
“Early estimates of lost crops and livestock are approaching $3 billion, and that figure is expected to rise as flooding is now predicted to last well into May. The flooding on fields will render them all but impossible to use. Fields that are normally used for growing beans, corn, and grain are under tons of snow or several feet of water. This means these fields will more than likely not produce a crop this year.”
“What needs to be explained is the dramatically increased precipitation and where the trend line is going. We have to turn to science for this, to astrophysics, which tells us that increasing cosmic radiation is seeding more clouds causing more rain and snow, much more. One of the classical characteristics of Grand Solar Minimums is increased cosmic rays creating more cloud coverage and much more precipitation.”
“The scope of this historic disaster has touched nearly every aspect of Nebraska,” said Col. Michael Manion in the early days as record floods devastated a wide swath of the Farm Belt across Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota and several other states. (Col. Manion is 55th Wing Commander at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska.)
