TIME TO TAKE GLOBAL WARMING SERIOUSLY
I have to admit, I've been in the camp which hasn't taken the threat of global warming seriously, but this story from FoodWeek Online has forced me to change my position.
"Beer production in Australia and New Zealand could be cut by climate change within 25 years, a scientist has warned. Climate expert Dr Jim Salinger, of the NZ National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research says that climate change could cause a decline in malting barley production in both countries. 'It will mean either there will be pubs without beer or the cost of beer will go up,' Dr Salinger said."
When the only effect of global warming was the melting of polar ice caps, thereby displacing a few bears, what's the big deal? But if it could affect the beer supply, well, that IS a crisis. Get Al Gore on the phone
