Rising temperatures and increased drought due to climate change will likely deal a blow to the world’s beer supply, according to a study released on Monday.

The effects of climate change will gravely impact the growth of barley, a crop used predominantly to create beer, and in turn make it harder to produce the beverage and more expensive to buy, the study published in Nature Plants found.

An international team of researchers from China, Britain and the U.S. looked at how climate change would affect the crop over the next 80 years. Measuring the effects of concurrent drought and heat extremes, they estimated that climate change could result in average barley yield losses of 3 to 17 percent, depending on the condition’s severity.

It gets increasingly serious during every major election cycle strangely enough.

On a side note the warmer weather is perfect for growing cannabis.

Damn, I thought it was just the opposite.

You'd think the hotter temps was making folks thirstier and that's why I've been seeing so many more beer taps at the local watering holes.

Trump believes the climate has changed but is unwilling to spend money to determine why.

Well that settles it. Global warming may now be dismissed due to a cold spell somewhere.



But carry on. This topic is always good for a laugh around here.
