Snowbirds can fly home

Climate change has made it possible for all of those Missouri and Kansas snowbirds who fly south for the winter to actually stay in the Midwest.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is changing its planting zone map to reflect the consistently warmer weather hitting this region. Kansas City has shifted from a cooler Zone 5 to a warmer Zone 6.

That will enable gardners and farmers to grow different plants and crops more suited for warmer climates.

Snowbirds and others who have permanently uprooted for Florida, New Mexico and Arizona can come home to the Kansas City area now and enjoy the temperatures of the South in the Midwest.

    Normally I’d just let this go by…but it’s too good to pass up.

    You can tell a NWO, globalist, socialist, communist, Marxist by how much they believe in climate change and the global warming hoax or down right lies.

    Climate change people live in their own make believe world of utopianism and don’t do their own research.
