"It's summer. It's really hot. People eat a lot of ice cream. Good time to trot out the 'vanilla' trope."
Is that why real vanilla extract is at the lowest price I have seen in years? What does it matter, since we’ve been told the world as we know it is going to end in a little over five. Years🤷🏼♂️
Scientists are afraid ice cream might melt.
Hopefully they’re about to learn no one funds that BS any more. They were probably getting funded by a USAID cutout.
Dems doing a stupid pity party for their nonprofit/NGO slush funds - called ‘save the planet’?
“No more vanilla ice cream if commies/progressives don’t get slush fund cash back”...
Cry me a river.
Joe Biden hardest hit.
It’s a crisis all right. But a boot stamping on a human face forever will fix it just fine.
Just eat chocolate.......oops...That could be racist.....
Perhaps because no one can pronounce it.

I see what you did there. You better hope your mychorizal relationships with unsuspecting flowers don't get you in trouble.
I seem to recall from my long ago organic chemistry classes that the widely used substitute for natural vanilla, vanillin, is derived from petrochemicals (oil). The climate alarmists want to ban oil so they may in fact be the villain in depriving us of vanilla flavored ice cream.
Those regions in Central America need to do something about the problem. Seems that every country that has a climate change problem blames it on the United States. What really pisses me off about this is climate is not static. It doesn’t hover over one spot and any network that would broadcast this should be sued for not explaining how climate works.
But there may be, in an unexpected (unexpected!) way.
For a few decades humanity has been cleaning up: Car emissions, cleaner coal power, int'l shipping switching to cleaner fuel etc. All this has drastically reduced particulate and sulfur dioxide emissions. Which play a part in cloud formation.
Global cloud cover has been going down. More solar radiation reaches the earth's surface instead of being reflected back into space. Presto, global warming.
By going clean, we have doomed the planet to a fiery death! LOL.

Of course you can prove anything with a model. The elements are chosen from those most likely to produce the desired result. In an open system like this there are hundreds of significant factors that must be and are excluded.
These articles are so much fun. Freepers can gather about and subject the morons to a verbal public stoning.
The vanilla notes in Whisky comes from the charred oak barrels.
The Truth can never be known from AI.
The Truth, simply IS.
I am sorry to tell them, but one degree of change in is not going to affect the vanilla plants.
ISWYDT
Because it is already there.
Remember, we’re talking about estimates of ‘warming’ which is 1.5C, average, over the next 80 years (or similar).
Yet people claim they can tell ‘climate change’ themselves, by looking outside, vs. last year.
This is just another ‘sky is falling’ because something ‘could’ happen. Maybe. Kinda. Probably not...”but I have to justify my funding type of science”.
