Climate Change: Bad News for Beer Drinkers
Written by Asinus Asinum Fricat on April 9, 2008 – 11:02 am -Climate change will force the beer lovers around the world especially in Australia & New Zealand (right now) to shell out extra money to buy the drink, which could taste different, a scientist warned on Tuesday. Climate change could cause a drop in beer production within 25 years, worldwide.
National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (Niwa) climate scientist Dr Jim Salinger said climate change could see a decline of malting barley production in parts of New Zealand, Australia and spreading to the rest of the world.
Sen. Inhofe (R.OK) and countless other doubters will tell you that it’s a Giant Hoax, doncha know? Bleh, I hope they find flies in their small beer!
Searching the web for articles related to this, I am astounded that not a single site has mentioned water, odd since the water content in any beer is more than 90% and consequently plays a major role in the final product.
