If only we could have foreseen this supposed ‘climate change’ and its effects somehow. Also, maybe it’s a good thing we can’t ship cherries halfway around the world in the off season. Maybe not, but maybe.

Ships can’t pass through Panama Canal because it’s closing due to climate changes. Meanwhile, ships are avoiding the Suez Canal, burning a whole lot more fuel and hastening the climate changes. Pretty neat relationship between those two canals.
