It's hard to imagine Valentine's Day without chocolate, but some scientists say that it's possible that chocolate could one day be in short supply.

Translation: This whole story is made up.
Time to start issuing chocolate vouchers NOW, before the transition to the non-chocolate world becomes a problem. Have we learned NOTHING from the switch to DTV? < /sarc >

True, but it's so in vogue to be forecasting doom, you have to admire this writer for pushing the logical limits. After all what could be worse than a world without chocolate.
I just hope this means they've jumped the shark. 
Oh PLEASE don’t tell Diana about this (LOL).
Women and children hardest hit!
Is there nothing—or no holiday—they won’t scare-monger us about?
Why do you say that?
Because the statement “some scientists say that it’s possible that some day ...” (fill in eventuality) has no content. It is simply blather, because they wanted to publish a story relevant to Valentine’s Day (and advertisers of chocolate).
Great picture!
Are these the same “some scientists” who started global warming?
Peak chocolate! No blood for chocolate!
It’s an era of “change”, haven’t you heard? Out with the “old” in with the “new”; don’t you feel the “hope”?
Wasn’t there a commercial warning that global warming would melt all the chocolate?
Chocolate closes at US 140 a bbl, prices at pump to skyrocket!
Presstitutes allow themselves to be used by interest groups in all areas.
"Hangin's 2 good 4'um"
It’s clear. We need Obama to step in and issue grants for alternative chocolate such as solar chocolate and wind chocolate. To add incentive for the production of brave new chocolate, we must begin to curb chocolate emissions. As we all know, there’s no such thing as clean chocolate technology.
We must move beyond chocolate to a chocolate free, post-chocolate society.
That’s just the lead paragraph.
