3 ways climate change could ruin Easter
There’s a lot to love about Easter. Kids running around the front yard searching for brightly colored plastic eggs full of candy. The decadent ham dinner. And of course the squeal-inducing imagery of baby bunnies, chicks and lambs.
Yet while the beloved springtime celebration packs a delightful punch, climate change doesn’t take off for holidays.
From weather extremes increasingly threatening bunny food to a possible chocolate-free future, here are three ways climate change could affect what is arguably the cutest holiday.
Don’t worry, kids, the Easter Bunny should still show his fuzzy tail on Sunday.
So, what are the problems?
- Alfalfa — the food of choice for rabbits — is under threat (oh, and rabbits could be doomed because of mild winters. You know, the ones the species
- Goodbye, Easter ham? (pigs are doomed from a tiny increase in the average temperature, you guys!)
- Chocolate bunnies will be off the menu, too (because prognosticating a 4 F increase by 2050 in a few chocolate growing nations, so, chocolate is doomed. Even though there’s only been a measly 1.4F increase since 1850. Their models tell them so!)
