CLIMATE CHANGE.
Never mind that humankind would never let cocoa go extinct. GLOBAL WARMING GONNA KILL HERSHEYS!!!!!
So sick to death of this BS.
I’d be kinda old by then anyway.
This is just to get the female population on board the AGW train..........
You can count on climate change in the first sentence. We’ve switched from polar bears to chocolate bars.
If the end of the age does not come first.
Hey, why don’t the scientist create a mutant chocolate plant through genetic engineering. Maybe merge it with the “milk” gene and bingo — you have instant chocolate milk!
I am not concerned.
If this wasn’t the most blatant example of propoganda, what is?
You can literally see these guys sitting in their meeting rooms turning their gears trying to come up with new things to be harmed by ‘climate change’ in their projections! Cocoa? This has got to be satire!
Unless the whole world successfully goes communist and the statists control everything, people will find a way to keep the cocoa plants going even if not for the love of chocolate, but for the enormous financial gain that chocolate’s scarcity would offer. But even if the entire world was controlled by the most draconian and austere powers, they the political elites would themselves would still get chocolate. LOL
The “scientist” is stupid. If temps were to rise, production would simply move to cooler climates. Move north about 1 meter per year. That should do it.
Cocoa stays. Mars bars stay. Chocolate milk stays. Stupid scientist with his head up his a$$ retires and never opens his stupid mouth ever again.
“due to climate change”
That is when I was assured that chocolate will be around for about as long as it already has.
Valentine’s Day falls victim to “climate change”. Whodda thunk?!
I’m happy to know I’ll be extinct long before chocolate.
This means war.
Why do I see in my head a potential Far Side cartoon showing a pair of multi-colored dangling legs and a tipped stool, with the caption reading, “Upon hearing of the Coca plants being extinct by 2050, entrepreneur Willy Wonka committed suicide.”
I need more coffee. I thought that it said they were planning on growing cacao on Mars...
Rarely do we see such bald-faced, anti-science lies as this.
NO reputable botanist, horticulturalist or agriculturalist would make such a STUPID claim. And that also applies to economists and to even entrepreneurs who want to make money.
If the climate is getting warmer, than the cocoa trees will be planted further North and South of their current growing range. Those companies who make money off of cocoa trees (which includes cocaine manufacturers!) will ensure this is done.
Such screwball predications have the direct result of everyday people scoffing at climate change proponents. Dumbasses!
What THEY don’t want you to know; in an effort to replace seal blood snowcones starving polar bears have fled the ice free Artic and are eating all of the cacao plants. There are also complaints of the bears exercising “white privileges”, causing gentrification of poor neighborhoods, and for being poor tippers.
