Sorry, you can’t have fries with that: Here are 10 foods that may disappear thanks to climate change

I'm not sure I want to live in a world without coffee, chocolate and peanut butter.

Almost all of those foods require warm weather to grow.

Just for starters. You can always do more.


SHHHH! You wouldn't want to expose their little secret that it's all a ploy to take more of your hard earned money, now would you?

The weather does seem freakish this year.
El Nino was predicted. We had the best fishing in 30 years here.

So who caused global warming then?
I don't think anyone would argue that the earth has gone through cooling and warming cycles.

Can it be that air pollution, emissions from fossil fuels, and human industry is exacerbating and speeding up the problem?

that might be the case, except that this interglacial period is cooler than the previous ones at this point in time.

The nutters are out in force today.

It was warmer then today a few centuries ago, how the hell are these foods even in existence today, if the should have all "disappeared" ages ago?

Nutters from 1970, 2015, or 5,000 years ago, it does not matter, they are all the same. They are always ready to start tossing virgins into the mouth of the angry fire god, for fear the actions by we humans will cause the world to end.

Not in any significant way. The forces at work are too powerful, and we are too insignificant.
