MADISON, Wis. — Over the last 50 years, the average temperature on St. Patrick’s Day in Madison has increased by more than 3 degrees. Madison isn’t alone; close to 97% of weather stations in the United States have seen an increase in average spring temperatures since 1970 (data collected from the Applied Climate Information System).
Climate change may have a big impact on the unofficial drink of St. Patrick’s Day: beer. Three of the key ingredients are quite fragile when it comes to rising temperatures and prolonged drought.
Large qualities of water are required to brew beer; water makes up much of the physical beer in the glass and is necessary for growing hops and barley. Limited water resources could lead to future problems for the beer industry.
Barley is a temperature-sensitive plant, and temperature extremes could cause a significant drop in production.
As for hops, the ingredient most in control of a beer’s specific flavor, the future could become a battle of quality. While the plant appears to survive high temperatures, the quality of the hops could be directly impacted by drought and extreme temperatures.
Insane and stupid.
I can understand why this might be a Yuge issue for Wisc.
I really do....
Notice how the graph and the table to the right do not correspond at all.
It also made the frogs gay.
Not to worry, in 10 years or so there won’t be any of today’s crops in Madison with the arrival of the Solar Minimum. See the horrific weather during the last one:

could ? LOL What will they change climate change to when the climate doesn’t change over night LOL
Who will brew beer made with molten polar ice-cap water?

The water will turn into clouds and cool the planet down like it was designed to do
“could.” Ok so what should be done? I read the article, all that is said are problems that may happen if conditions change, no remedies for anything. This is not about the “climate change.” It is about control and giving up you liberties and life to a behemoth government which will not solve the the problem as it is powerless to do so if the premise is true. Nonsense. The “sky is always falling” to the rabid left.
Climate Change is gonna effect my beer?
NOW you got my attenshun!
“Notice how the graph and the table to the right do not correspond at all.”
It’s designed to put the fear of Climate Change in ya!
"A graph containing the global temperature, as computed by the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISTEMP3.1) plotted with the solar irradiance. The solar irradiance before 1978 is from a reconstruction (2007). "Reconstruction of solar total irradiance since 1700 from the surface magnetic flux". Astronomy & Astrophysics 467. and afterwards directly from satellite measurements done by the Physikalisch-Meteorologisches Observatorium. The graph shows that solar irradiance has not increased with the temperature since the mid-20th century"[a WELL KNOWN COMMIE BUNCHA DATA TORTURERS located at U. Columbia, Manhattan]
These people will shut their pieholes when the Yellowstone Caldera blows...
Wow. Evidently everything bad can be traced back to Climate Change.
As a side note, I was playing hold-em poker with some friends the other day. I went all-in with a 2 and a 3, off suit. I lost my entire stake on that one hand! But it wasn’t due to any poor decisions on my part. I’m sure I lost because of Climate Change.
Do you have a link to the graph because the image is broken.
I’d like to see it.
