9 Food Items We Might Never Eat Again Because of Climate Change

Tea

A lot of people might dismiss this fact but understand the logic behind this before deriving a conclusion! Specialists confirm that the tea sector will be greatly impacted by climate change if no preventive measures are taken. For example, increased vulnerability to insects or lower quality leaves are just a few problems the industry is going to face. Now that says a lot!

Rice

How can rice be a problem you may think? Well, it surely won't extinct but they'll come with their own problems! They can become less nutritious because of the rising concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Maple syrup

According to experts, Maple trees will not have enough snow pack in winter, which will lead to root dieback and reduced shoot growth. Now that's alarming!

Wheat

Even wheat will be majorly affected by the weather change. According to this study, performed by Kansas State University, we are at risk of losing at least 1/4 of our global wheat production, as each degree that the temperature rises, cuts around 6% of it. these are some crazy numbers.

Peanuts

Peanut plants need special attention and are considered to be very fussy. Weather change will surely affect them!

Beer

Whaaaaat???? This can't be true? Well, sadly it is! Heat and droughts can lead to a 3-17% loss in barley and hop yields depending on the severity of the conditions. Decreases in supply and production can lead to a significant increase in price (for example, +193% in Ireland). Not cool, right?

Coffee

Just like tea, even Coffee might just disappear!Leading global coffee companies like Starbucks and Lavazza recognize the severe risks caused by global warming. Around 50% of the global area suitable for coffee production is in danger of being cut by 2050. Sad!

Honey

Studies discovered that rising levels of CO2 reduce the protein in pollen, the main food source among bees. In the worst case, this problem can lead to their dying-off since they will fail to get enough nutrition. Pretty bad, right?

Chocolate

And finally this! This is heart break on a serious level! Extreme weather is not expected to be accompanied by heavy rains. These conditions can negatively impact cocoa production and result in one million fewer tons of powder, truffles, or bars of chocolate per year. Now we have all the reasons to respect weather, don't we?
