Oranges used to be grown around gulf coast, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia. Now only south Texas and south Florida. So much for global warming over the last century.
This is the reason why they stopped calling it Global Warming (or Global Cooling) and switched to instead calling it Climate Change.
Any fool can see that the climate is changing. And that it is being caused by humans specifically white men. Therefore give up your way of life, and your rights, and especially your money. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA stupid goys.

My local measure of global(?) cooling. Days in January at 70F or above have gone from 5 to 10 down to zero over the past 40 years. Finally hit zero a few years ago.
I will play devil's advocate here (while not believing in AGW at all), and ask the question: are there any economic reasons for this? Are there any other industries in the "no oranges anymore" regions that are better than growing oranges? Oil, for example? etc.
Did orange production improve in those 120+ years such that so many regions don't need to grow oranges, and thus drive the prices down?
I have no answer to those questions - but maybe a look at the residential growing of oranges in those regions would aid the argument? Did residential orange trees die off too in all those areas?
