                 This article (really a compilation of articles) is a bit geeky for many.

                 Our human ingenuity will allow us to best accommodate whatever happens where you live.

                 It won't be easy.

                 This issue has little to do with either global warming or a mini-ice age, or anything else you sense and believe.

                 There are many "wild-card" events, like volcanoes, that cannot be reliably predicted and also affect our fate. Even where I now live in east Tennessee, and counting tree rings, the great volcano Krakatoa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1883_eruption_of_Krakatoa) in Indonesia in the 1880's adversely affected the growing seasons here for two years. Even the eruption of Pinatubo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Pinatubo) in the Philippines in 1991 provided some spectacular sunsets in Virginia.
