I've been subbed to David for over a decade now but haven't tuned in for yrs, but 2030 doesn't feel that far off anymore. Worth a listen as he's not a ranting manic type.
David DuByne is the creator of the ADAPT 2030 Climate Preparedness Channels and Mini Ice Age Conversations Podcast. He is the author of Climate Revolution which is now being updated and edited for the second edition. As a former coffee buyer in Myanmar, he saw cold weather damage to coffee trees firsthand and heard farm owners telling stories of how their great grandfathers in the 1880s experienced the same conditions when coffee was being introduced as a cash crop. Freeze damaged top leaves, bean density changes and 14% overplanting of new seedlings to compensate for cold losses sent him looking for answers and he found cycles through history that affect food production.
He believes understanding our Sun-driven climate is crucial as we progress deeper into the new Eddy Grand Solar Minimum. Weather extremes leading to global food scarcity and high food prices are here now, and David’s work describes the expected changes, and how to survive & thrive during future challenging times with practical preparations
