What Climate Change Means For Your Thanksgiving Dinner

For people around the U.S., Thanksgiving is a chance to enjoy the best an autumn harvest has to offer—from sweet potatoes and pumpkin to turkey and green beans.

It is, while joining with friends and family. Time Magazine should have stopped there.

But as higher temperatures impact growing seasons and extreme weather events wipe out crops, farmers across the country are facing mounting challenges when it comes to growing produce and raising livestock.

“Drought, changing temperature patterns in different parts of the country, natural disasters… all of those things have an impact on the supply of food and agricultural commodities,” says Marcus Coleman, professor of practice at Tulane University whose work focuses on food systems and agriculture.

Climate change is leading to more irregularity when it comes to seasonal weather patterns, which can impact the growing cycle for a number of crops.

Two Thanksgiving staples illustrate these challenges. “Cranberries and apples are both very dependent on specific temperature patterns,” says Coleman. Cranberries, which require cooler temperatures during their growing period to help them ripen before they’re harvested in the fall, can see abnormal blossoming when exposed to inconsistent temperatures. This can lead to lower yields. Meanwhile a late spring frost can kill the blossoms that produce apples.

Turkeys, on the other hand, are particularly sensitive to extreme heat.

“Rising temperature increases heat stress on the poultry,” says Coleman. “From a supply perspective, that could slow down their growth rates or raise the overall [risk for] mortality. It can also drive up the cost of production, because farmers have to put in mechanisms to deal with the heat so as to not impact the output of the birds.”

And a 1.7F increase since 1850 is horrible, you know. It’s just a doomsday cult being doomsday cult. The rest is just more cult, right up to the ending

Knowing where our food is coming from and the challenges farmers are facing can also remind us to be thankful for the food that we have—and to make sure those Thanksgiving leftovers don’t go to waste.

Do they realize that many of the more hardcore Warmists are also the same cranks who hate Thanksgiving (but, also want holiday pay and the day off)?

Kids most affected by climate change explore jobs to fix it at the Future Green Leaders Summit

At the 2025 Future Green Leaders Summit, middle school students designed fire-resistant homes using AI, learned about jobs that support the climate and environment, and cheered on superheroes dressed as “Wind,” “Solar,” “Ethanol” and other energy sources as they squared off in a rap and dance battle.

The day-long event, held at San Bernardino’s Historic Enterprise Building on Wednesday, was organized by the Southern California Regional Energy Network, which is administered by Los Angeles County and paid for by California Public Utility ratepayers.

The approximately 500 students in attendance came from the San Bernardino and neighboring Rialto school districts that have Title 1 status, meaning the schools receive supplemental federal funding because they enroll a high percentage of pupils living in low-income households. In both districts, Latino, Black and Asian residents represent more than 80% of the population, according to the U.S. Census.

Organizers said the event was in part intended to confront a disconnect in the green economy. Although students from poor households and families of color are more vulnerable to the effects of rising global temperatures, pollution, and food and energy scarcity, people from their communities are less likely to be employed in green industries. Women are underrepresented too.

Yeah, pretty much because most of the non-white non-elite folks do not buy into the climate scam.

For instance, the U.S. solar workforce is 73% white and 70% male. The workforce overall is about 60% white and more than 50% female, according to the International Renewable Energy Council’s Solar Jobs Census.

It’s hard for children to envision themselves in green careers when they don’t see people who look like them in those jobs, organizers said.

It all seems to be cringy white knighting.
