The very fact that crop production, including for the ingredients to make beer, continues to stay high and even have record crops, is immaterial to Cult dogma. And that water isn’t disappearing. They have scary prognostications to make
Yes, climate change could impact the production of beer
Leaders from across the world are in Glasgow, Scotland, for COP26, a United Nations climate change conference. This week, VERIFY has published multiple stories about different issues related to climate change, including carbon emissions and deforestation.
Another issue tied to climate change is its impact on crops.
Researchers say it’s hard to make the subject connect with people who are used to going to the grocery store and expecting food will be there. So, they’re trying to make the topic more approachable by sounding the alarm about specific foods and beverages with wide appeal – like beer.
That’s led to tweets (this one from Greenpeace and this one from EcoWatch) that link to stories that say climate change could impact the supply of beer.
Nothing like citing two unhinged groups who live by fearmongering. And those media outlets (there were a bunch) who are pushing this have joined in. And, since they are trying to make this like a fact check, the next section looks like (taking a screen shot works better)
Sherman?
First, there’s water. Each gallon of beer requires about five to six gallons of water to produce, according to the World Wildlife Fund. That could be problematic for drought-laden states like California, which has the most breweries in the nation.
California has always been drought -laden. You know what happens? Move the brewery. In fact, many have moved out of California because of their climate and other business restrictions. If you’re drinking a beer on the east coast it is most likely produced on the east coast, with a few exceptions.
The second main ingredient is barley, which gives beer its color and flavor. But only 17% of the world’s barley is used for beer, according to one study, and most of it is grown in only a few locations that are seeing temperatures rise and yields drop.
Huh
You can find that for many areas. And sometimes the yields are average, sometimes below. Such is life. Of course, the climate cultists says doom is coming soon, so, give up your money, freedom, liberty, and choice to Government.
That study used five different climate models to project what impact a warming climate could have on beer supply, consumption and prices.
“Concurrent extremes of drought and heat can be anticipated to cause both substantial decreases in beer consumption and increases in beer price,” the study concluded.
In the study’s most severe climate events, researchers estimated the world’s beer consumption would drop 16%. That’s almost 8 billion gallons of beer, roughly equal to what the U.S. consumes in a year. Even in less extreme climate events, researchers estimated beer consumption would drop by 4%.
Once we start seeing computer models we know this is straight mule fritters. Same models cannot predict the weather with perfection.
Every time the walking dead try to scaremonger us with beer I like to post this so that Liberals return to the hole they hide in every day.
Most people know that Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunter/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.
The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups : Liberals and Conservatives.
Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor the aluminum can were invented yet so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That’s how villages were formed.
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to barbecue at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement.
Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly barbecues and doing the sewing, fetching and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement. Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girlie men.
Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy and group hugs and the concept of democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.
Over the years, conservatives in the US came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals there are symbolized by the jackass. In Canada, political parties don’t have unique animal symbols but Liberals try to claim legitimacy by wrapping themselves in the Canadian flag while Quebec separatists (socialists one and all) prefer a delicate little flower, the fleur-de-lys.
Modern liberals like imported beer but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water (why any self-respecting Canadian would drink imported water when we have more water than anyone else on earth, I do not know). They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note : most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, journalists, show biz dreamers and group therapists are liberals. Extreme liberals include the rent-a-crowd bunch, Jack Layton adherents, and anyone else who is opposed to progress or a thinking person’s point of view. These people should not be allowed to vote nor reproduce.
Conservatives drink domestic beer and in polite company, red wine. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, bankers, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.
Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Canadians or Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to North America to build new nations. Liberals crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a mindset of trying to get more for nothing.
Here ends today’s lesson in world history: It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it. A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers. And to more liberals just to tick them off.
I would not protest the reading of this insightful history lesson from every pulpit in North America tomorrow nor at every general assembly at public and private school during the rest of 2021.
Scaremongering about beer?
Teach do you remember when you tried to frighten us by saying that Obama’s EPA was going to put all craft beer producers out of business b d cause of spelt disposable problems of ?
Idaho produces only 1 % of the world’s barley a bumper crop there is insignificant
There are over 1100 breweries in Cali an increase of over 100 in the last 2 years
Cali may have over 1100 micro breweries (a tad bigger than brewing the stuff in your basement) now name one in the top 10 in America. Their most famous is Sierra Nevada and that’s a glorified micro brew. The largest selling beer in Cali is Corona. Any guess where that’s brewed?
Lol zombie guy must not know thst Trump liked his Trump straks ( now bankrupt) well done while liberals eat steak tartar
Sadly the elephant population has decreased 90% in the last 100 years
Trumpjr is one of the infamous “trophy” elephant killers
Johnny-has domestic oil production still doubled since Biden became President? Uh oh..
Great
