Many breweries use adjuncts in place of barley. Budweiser uses rice.

Here is a study that says just the opposite so everyone can stand down. Climate change will be good for barley which will lower barley prices and thus beer prices.

Just when I was getting optimistic. More despair, doom and gloom.

I predict that the cost of beer will go up in socialist countries and or union run breweries.
But that is has nothing whatsoever to do with glabal warming.
Other than as an excuse to raise the cost of beer.

If they would say something that would actually scare us we might pay attention.

Global warming would make IQ’s lower and result in more liberals in the world

That we might pay attention to.

Obviously foot fungus, psoriasis, and bad television programing increase during Global Warming®.

Butterflies, marijuana, and orgasms love a good ice age.

Losses of barley yield can be as much as 17 percent, an international group of researchers estimated.

Don't worry! A couple of my buddies and I are working on a method to make beer out of dirt (of course bock will be made out of black clay), so everything will be a wash when all of this comes to pass!

Barley prices going up? Oh, no.

Too bad there's no such thing as wheat beer.

OMG!!! The farmers of barley are so ignorant, stupid and uninformed that they would never set up new barley fields anywhere that was experiencing less drought than at their present locations!!! Right??? /sarc

That is the same - people are stupid - nonsense as when not long ago they predicted coffee prices were going to go through the sky due to “climate change”, ignoring then as now that coffee is a global enterprise and just when some locales become less favorable for growing coffeee, other locales will become more favorable, and the coffee growing industry will move production.

“Climate change” is not a life killer, it is a life changer.

The “natural world” WILL adapt and so CAN humans, particularly now more than ever in human history.

In a nutshell....

“...perhaps more effective way of communicating the dangers of global warming.”

put another way...

perhaps more effective way of scaring the hell out of dumbass, uneducated, beer drinkers about FAKE global warming.

“In countries like Ireland, where cost of a brew is already high, prices could triple.”

Only if the filthy government artificially raises taxes like they do on gas and everything else.
