During the past several decades, spring rainfall in Michigan has been on the increase, likely tied to warming temperatures and the air’s ability to hold additional moisture. Data point to a roughly 25 percent increase in March through May rainfall since 1970 in Midland, with similar trends observed areawide. Mean springtime precipitation in Gladwin has leapt from 7.1 inches in 1940 to nearly 9.3 inches nowadays. Spring temperatures have warmed a degree and a half there during that same time frame. According to the U.S. government’s National Climate Assessment, the heaviest precipitation events in the Midwest have increased by 42 percent since 1958. The last four years, 2016 through 2019, were all ranked among Michigan’s top 15 wettest on record, and five of the top 10 wettest years have come in the last decade. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2020/05/20/michigan-dams-fail-midland/ https://blog.nationalgeographic.org/2012/11/20/warming-lakes-climate-change-and-variability-drive-low-water-levels-on-the-great-lakes/ Climate change is blamed for low water levels, until it is blamed for high water levels.

kallend 2,113 #1938 June 23, 2020 By Paul Bodnar and Tamara Grbusic, Rocky Mountain Institute. In response to climate-related disasters in 2017 Congress appropriated $136 billion in additional funding for recovery — amounting to about $1,000 for every American taxpayer. The government faces wide exposure, including repairing damage to federal property and lands, federal insurance for property and crops, the cost of making public infrastructure resilient to climate impacts, and disaster aid (including relocation of entire populations in harm’s way of persistent climate repercussions like sea level rise). Fourteen billion-dollar weather and climate calamities struck last year, the fifth year in a row with 10 or more. And projections don’t look good. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration estimates that the average annual number of disasters causing over $1 billion in damages over the past five years was double the average over the past four decades. The agency warned last year, “The number and cost of disasters are increasing over time due to a combination of increased exposure, vulnerability, and the fact that climate change is increasing the frequency of some types of extremes that lead to billion-dollar disasters.” Overall, according to the government’s national climate assessment in 2018, continued warming “is expected to cause substantial net damage to the U.S. economy throughout this century, especially in the absence of increased adaptation efforts.” etc........

Record global cereal production forecast boosts stock-to-use ratio to a twenty-year high Release date: 02/07/2020 FAO’s forecast for world cereal production in 2020 has been revised upward by 9.3 million tonnes this month and now stands at almost 2 790 million tonnes, with the global output set to surpass the record-high reached in 2019 by as much 3.0 percent (81.3 million tonnes). Global wheat production is pegged at 761.5 million tonnes, up 3.2 million tonnes from the previous month and now at par with last year’s above-average outturn. The bulk of the monthly increase reflects an upward revision to Australia’s wheat production forecast (+5.5 million tonnes), mostly resting on improved yield prospects underpinned by earlier widespread rainfall and favourable weather forecasts for the remainder of the season. This, combined with a larger than initially foreseen wheat acreage, is expected to lead to a more pronounced production rebound in 2020, which would mark a significant turnaroun...

But you're not a stupid person so I can only conclude you're back to you're old habit of cherry picking data.As your story says this is cereal production. A small segment of world food supply and that increase is due to increased acreage and what appears to be an Australian bumper crop. Increased seeded acreage means lessor acres to oil-seeds and other crops. Global food markets still brace for uncertainty in 2020/21 because of COVID-19 says FAO It appears that the impact of covid is having a greater impact than weather this year. 07 May 2020, Rome - World food commodity prices declined for the third month in a row during April, as the economic and logistical impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant contractions in demand for many commodities. The FAO Food Price Index, which tracks international prices of the most commonly-traded food commodities, averaged 165.5 points in April, some 3.4 percent lower than the previous month and 3 percent lower than April 2019.

I have no idea what Al Gore is up to or was up to, I find him to be an opportunist for his personal agenda and at best a spokesman who only vaguely understands his own material. You did a better job with "gotchas" when you were talking about melting glaciers. Care to rehash that or maybe talk about ice volume in the Arctic Circle again?

They cannot exclude the possibility of a link; rather, the science is so uncertain that they simply do not know at this point." The story you quote starts off with two big lies. "In two articles published this past week here at Climate Realism, we showed how Al Gore’s predictions about melting glaciers in Glacier National Park and disappearing snows at Mt. Kilimanjaro have proven spectacularly wrong." Retreat of Glaciers in Glacier National Park I need a kick in the head for falling into the trap, again.
