A reenactment of Candy developing a finely-tuned palate at a young age
File this under: The most alarming news I’ve received since finding out The Shield won’t return until this fall.
Scientists warn that the price of beer is likely to rise in coming decades because climate change will hamper the production of malting barley, a key grain needed for the brew. And, don’t panic yet, but some pubs could be left stranded without any beer whatsoever.
DID YOU NOT HEAR ME? TURN OFF THAT LIGHT AND PLANT A TREE, DAMMIT! SAVE THE WORLD, SAVE THE BEER!
My apologies. I obviously haven’t had my morning Guinness yet.
Barley growing in parts of Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales will be hit particularly hard. Climate change could cause a drop in beer production within 30 years, especially in Australia, as dry areas become drier and water shortages worsen.
I’m proud to say I’ve been doing my part to save the environment. Why, I always throw my soda cans in the paper recycling bin and drink green beer on St. Patrick’s Day.
And if that doesn’t work, we’ll always have vodka — which, as we all know, can be made from potatoes, grain or dirty underwear (see: Kamchatka).
Oh no!!! I promise I will never get an SUV.

April 8th, 2008 at 7:29 pmI’m going to invest in a vineyard right away!
