[Stunningly stupid climate change propaganda] depresses beer drinkers - environment - 13 September 2009 - New Scientist

Mozny's team used a high-resolution dataset of weather patterns, crop yield and hop quality to estimate the impact of climate change on Saaz hops in the Czech Republic between 1954 and 2006. Best-quality Saaz hops contain about 5 per cent alpha acid, the compound that produces the delicate, bitter taste of pilsners.

The study found that the concentration of alpha acids in Saaz hops has fallen by 0.06 per cent a year since 1954, and models of hop yields and quality under future global warming scenarios predict bigger decreases

Many young polar bear cubs are dying when the lairs under the snow in which they are born collapse in unusually early spring rains, while pollution may be affecting their ability to cope with changes to their habitat.

The bears are also suffering from a drop in the number of ringed seals, which they hunt and eat and whose pups have also been dying as a result of their under-snow lairs being washed out, melting or collapsing.

Population estimates for ringed seal are between 3 ½ to 6 million, which makes them the most abundant of the Arctic seals.

The young are born in lairs, or dens which the female often digs out in a snow bank. This shelter is thought to protect the pup from predators such as Arctic foxes and polar bears, as well as the bitter cold winds.

If these alleged spring rains (allegedly caused by our cell phone chargers) are making it easier for allegedly starving polar bears to catch ringed seals, is that supposed to be a bad thing?

If it's warm enough to melt their under-snow lairs, why do the ringed seals still need protection from the bitter cold?

If carbon dioxide is so harmful to ringed seals, why are they still "abundant", hundreds of years after the dawn of the Industrial Revolution?
