CLIMATE COMMUNICATION : A NEW BEGINNING

NATURE  reports:

Climate change could double your bar tab

More-frequent droughts and heat waves caused by climate change will reduce global barley production by up to 17%. The effect of that will be a drop in beer supply that could roughly double, on average, the cost of your ale. Beer production might seem like a trivial consideration when it comes to climate change, but the researchers want people to think about the broad implications of global warming. "What I’m trying to emphasize here is that climate change will impact people’s lifestyle,” says climate-change economist Dabo Guan.
