I'm serious people, this is just NOT good news. Now this shit is hitting just a little too close to home.



Beer lovers told to beware of global warming
Growing malting barley is gonna get tougher, expert warns

"WELLINGTON, New Zealand - The price of beer is likely to rise in coming decades because climate change will hamper the production of a key grain needed for the brew — especially in Australia, a scientist warned Tuesday.

Jim Salinger, a climate scientist at New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, said climate change likely will cause a decline in the production of malting barley in parts of New Zealand and Australia. Malting barley is a key ingredient of beer."

4. Well, if they'd stop belching after guzzling, that'd be half the problem.

Get more bars to replace CRTs with LCDs too. Use much less energy, generate less heat, show bigger and brighter picture, and few would notice the difference in the contrast gamut either.
