Frost, Hail Inflict Heavy Vineyard Damage Across France and Italy
Winegrowers from Champagne to Piedmont are fighting freezing temperatures that threaten early spring buds
Global temperatures have dropped 0.5° Celsius in April according to Dr. Ryan Maue. In the Northern Hemisphere they plunged a massive 1°C . As the record 2015/16 El Nino levels off, the global warming hiatus aka “the pause” is back with a vengeance

I don't recommend worrying too much about this.
If it happens humanity will adapt and survive. We are a surprisingly resilient and creative species despite our flaws.
I don't agree. A few years of huge crop failures will result in the starvation of hundreds of millions. You can't just start greenhousing the steppes of Russia and the Canadian Prairies. Crops would fail on a large scale and thats about all there is to it.

Agreed. If it comes to that, expect greenhoused fields to rapidly become a thing (I'll bet money on it) And there's an entire planet of crops that can tolerate chillier growing weather otherwise.
Humans adapt quite easily. A change in diet is nothing new, we've had eons to practice that.

That CIA report Makes for interesting reading especially the bit where it says that the Interglacial never lasts for more than twelve and a half thousand years . Which tends to suggest that the powers that be know that its long past bedtime. They also seem to say that its all to do with the sun. I would think that Antarctica is what this is all about, because the normal state of the Earth is Glaciation with these brief periods of warming boosting things for a brief period. So they are getting organised with permanent self sustaining bases on the Continent. De ja vu? since we are already in an extinction event , with the human race at record numbers when the Sun collapses so do we.

Sorry, but this is utter rubbish. 2017 is so far the 2nd warmest year on record. After 2016 (El Nino year) And it takes thousands of years for ice sheets to grow (all in the northern hemisphere are currently at their lowest extent since at least the Holocene Climatic Optimum ~8.000 years ago) - and that map at the end is based on the maximum ice sheet extent at the last glacial maximum over 25,000 years ago.
The current interglacial has a long time still to run, and whilst declining axial tilt shoud be leading to cooler conditions, especially at high latitudes the reality is that human activities mean the opposite is happening.
But we may see snow on the ground in 2020. If we are lucky ....
Source? Cause I've seen that April is cold....
