I think it is worth noting and adding to the growing evidence, but it is just one data point out of literally millions in the database.
However, I think it is a good example of secondary effects that can ripple through the economy. And not just the US economy, the world will be impacted, not the end of the world impacted, but a little and every little bit hurts. You recall "death by a thousand cuts."

Admittedly, a single event. That is why scientists use trend lines to determine CLIMATE change. They aggregate events like the cotton harvest with many others. The real proof is in the sea level increase measurements and the world's ice cap measurements of decrease.
