It has become a mainstay on supermarket shelves across the UK: fresh green asparagus, flown in to satisfy culinary desires well beyond the brief domestic growing season.
But Britain's love of year-round asparagus could now be at risk - due to climate change.
Of the 14,000 tonnes of asparagus imported to the UK last year, the majority - some 8,000 tonnes - came from Peru, the world's biggest exporter of the crop.
Experts warn that Peruvian production of the vegetable, which has soared in the past decade, is likely to be hit by extreme weather that scientists say will become more common due to global warming.

Emily Gosden, you are a dumbass. To the editors of the UK Telegraph that agreed to print this inane piece of idiocy, you are dumbasses of biblical scale.
LOL…The Muslims are taking over Britain, and those doofuses are worried that the supply of Peruvian asparagus MAY be reduced because of mythical “climate change.”
Some civilizations deserve to go extinct.
Asparagus Stalks At Midnight...
Q: How can you tell when an environmentalist is lying?

Dear UK journalist,
You have some excellent universities.
Go to one.
Try to get enrolled in physics courses.
Being a journalist, you will have to go through a few years of prep, given that you essentially are uneducated.
Learn about absorption curves.
Realize that your story is a bunch of bull Obama.
Since Global Warming predicts more frequent storms of greater intensity, this record breaking calm spell is yet another proof of Global Warming.
I can now go to my local market and buy tomatoes and blackberries, year-round, that are grown in CANADA!
Ever hear of hydroponic greenhouses there???
“What are we going to do with all this Hollandaise Sauce, now?”
I don't understand. I thought we already were experiencing Global Warming. If we are, then why has asparagus production "soared" over the past decade? Does that mean Global Warming helps asparagus production??? If so, then I'm all for Global Warming because I love asparagus.

PROJECTED PREDICTIONS
of climate change.
What’s up with the Brits? First it’s their teeth, and now they want smelly urine 7/24? They’d deserve AGW...if it wasn’t a false theory.

Oh, the despair the loss of a little asparagus must have on a nation.
what color should it be?
Yeah, tomatoes that have the texture and taste of old baseballs.
“Green” in this parlance means fresh, not canned.
If Gosden had two functioning brain cells, she’d known that the warmists would immediately end the use of all fossil fuels and there would be NO transportation of any fruits or vegetable from South America to England or anywhere else.
This past year we had the lowest number of tornadoes ever.
