Cult: Day Of The Dead Flowers Getting Killed By ‘Climate Change’

This is what it looks like when a news organization is consumed by a doomsday cult

This orange flower cloaks Mexico during Day of the Dead. Climate change is putting it at risk

Lucia Ortiz trudges through endless fields of cempasuchil flowers, the luminescent orange petals of which will soon cloak everything from city streets to cemeteries across Mexico.

Here, in the winding canals and farms on the fringes of Mexico City, the flower also known as the Mexican marigold has been farmed for generations, and takes the spotlight every year in the country’s Day of the Dead celebrations.

But as 50-year-old Ortiz and other farmers busily bundle clusters of the plant to sell in markets around the capital, they quietly wonder what will be left of their livelihood down the line.

That’s because cempasuchil growers say they’ve been left reeling by torrential rains, stretching drought and other impacts from climate change — caused by the burning of fuels like gas, oil and coal — that have grown increasingly common.

 

Seriously, weather happens. How would they do if the world went into a new Little Ice Age?

This year, torrential rains stretching on for months wiped out more than 37,000 acres of crops across the country, according to government figures. In a visit to cempasuchil fields earlier this month in Xochimilco, Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada said that as many of 2 million marigold plants were put at risk. Despite that, she said that production this year simultaneously broke a record of 6 million plants as farmers ramp up to meet increasing demand even as growing the flower has become more precarious.

So, wait, broke the record and doomed? Cult.

    Hard to get excited about the loss of a crop only used for a pagan festival when there are alternatives including reusable and sustainable plastic flowers, paper flowers or even dried flowers.

    Maybe scientists can produce a hybrid flower that is more resistant to climate propaganda.

    There seems to have been a noticeable reduction in the use of the Ford “elites” by Teach. Once used to denigrate John Kerry, they word often,to the young Republicans, refers to international bankers, globalists, financiers; code words for Jews.former rightwing heroe Candace Owens Joe Rogan Ann Coulter Steve Crowder Nick Fuentes Tucker Carlson backing off their former Support for Israel. And of course most notably Charles Kirk. Although for him, though views were short lived. Within a few weeks of his view changing he was shot by that gay guy with a 30.06 which had a magic bullet
    America’s support hor Israel has dropped from 50%, to 32%

    When poll numbers for climate change “very worried” dropped from 46%, to 40% Teach posted using the word “carrying”
    What word would you use to best describe going from 50% to 32% ?????
