Things are getting serious


I read this morning that the world supply of chocolate may be in serious danger in the next few decades because of projected increases in world temperature.  Expected increases of just 2* C (3.6* F) over the next forty years will make it too hot to grow cocoa in many parts of the world.  First the peanut butter, and now the chocolate?  We need to get some serious science going before these predictions become realities. Start brainstorming!
