First of all, you can't connect regional, one off events to either climate change, or solar activity. Secondly, hail is not associated with cold. Having a large hail storm that wipes out crops is not indicative of global cooling, or global warming. Third, no, the farmers in our heartland were not delayed by cold, they were delayed by flooding. In case you forgot, it forgot to stop raining this spring, and even into summer in a lot of areas. Fourth, even if it's true that Italy had to import olives because it was cold, it was due to an extreme winter, kind of like we had here in the Midwest. I haven't seen that they actually HAD to, just that they were thinking they might have to...
Ironically, though, this was due to climate change. It was colder in Minnesota than it was in the Arctic circle during our cold snaps that we had here. That was because warm air went up into the Arctic, and pushed up into the troposphere, and pushed to frigid arctic air out, and down into lower latitudes. Climate change can mean it's colder than normal where you live.
I don't have to prove anything. Things will prove themselves. 2019 is on track to be the 3rd hottest year on record, (maybe as low as the 5th) and that will make the last 6 years, the 6 hottest years on record. That is a trend. 17 out of the last 18 years have been the hottest years on record. That is a trend.
You have to go back 47 years to find a cooler than normal month. That is a rather large and obvious trend.
