Well, this is horrible
Bananas under threat as rising temperatures killing crops – report
Bananas are coming under increasing threat from climate change, and farmers saying extreme weather is “killing” their crops, according to a report.
An analysis by international development charity Christian Aid released on Monday shows rising temperatures and climate-related pests are putting bananas at risk.
It found that nearly two-thirds of the most suitable banana-growing areas in Latin America and the Caribbean – a region responsible for around 80% of the world’s banana exports – could be lost by 2080 due to climate impacts.
Bananas grow in a temperature range of between 15-35C but are also very sensitive to water shortages, meaning increasingly extreme weather is affecting the plant’s ability to photosynthesise.
Oh, phew, it’s in the far flung future. Surprise? It was just last year that we were told that climate doom would just make bananas more expensive.
In light of the findings, Christian Aid is urging developed nations to urgently reduce their carbon emissions to stem the growing impacts of climate change.
It also calls for international climate finance to support banana growers and agricultural communities to adapt to the changing climate.
Government force and redistribution of money from the 1st world to the 3rd.

“… farmers saying extreme weather is “killing” their crops”
These “farmers” are of the same brood stock as the rapists, murderers, litterers and terrorists that we are kidnapping and sending to our concentration camp in El Salvador!!
You can’t trust them.
William Teach Xed, “Did this fucking retard just blame winters being colder on heat trapping gases?”
Representative Casar was correct. William Teach was the ….
William Teach was the…..correct one.
Additionally, the costs of natural disasters is a poor metric to measure such things, as things cost more now and there’s more in the way of whatever hits.
Greg Casar is in no danger of becoming a rocket scientist….
Greg Casar is anothe4 Soros sponsored Congresscritter from the “barrio”.
Representative Casar is likely closer to being a rocket scientist than Mr Jl or his Lil boyfriend.
Can global climate change result in weirdly cold winter spells? Ask Texas in 2022. Science deniers (SD’s), such as Mr William Teach, call wiser people “fucking retards” for suggesting the obvious!
Mr Casar grew up in Bellaire, Texas, a well-to-do suburb of Houston. Bellaire is 60% white, 24% Asian, 11% Hispanic, 2% Black. He is Roman Catholic. His parents are Mexican immigrants and his father is a surgeon. Casar attended Strake Jesuit College Preparatory. He earned a BA in political science from the University of Virginia.
And yes, he is an unapologetic progressive, so suck it! LOL.

I didn’t sense much enthusiasm for the formal 80th-anniversary celebrations of VE Day across Britain last week, at least not amongst the young. How to combat this alarming apathy? Over in America, Donald Trump has just tried rebranding it with the new U.S.-centric name of “Victory Day for World War Two” on the grounds that “We won both …
It’s only a 3 minute read and it shows Elwood could be the huge cloud of fart gas that he appears to be.
Read it if you have the balls herr Dowd.
This illustrates the problem perfectly.
So, come 2080, I won’t be able to add banana slices to my morning Rice Chex. This will be terrible! I won’t be able to have bananas when I’m 127 years old!
How many times have I noted that people are more concerned with putting food on the table this evening than what the climate will be like in 2100 . . . or now 2080?
Global warmingclimate change is a problem for the well-to-do, for people who can easily afford to buy an electric car and pay higher prices for everything to pursue this or that cockamamie scheme. The people living paycheck-to-paycheck tend to see things differently.Relax. We humans will adjust.
Sounds like the U.S. Gulf of Mexico coast east of Houston, e.g., LA, MS, AL and FL!!
Plus, India leads the world in banana production, followed by China, and the Philippines.
Mr Dana correctly points our we’ll most likely be rotted corpses by 2080, but our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren may want bananas! Tough break, kids!
Relax. The climate is changing. We’ll adapt. It won’t be cheap or easy but we’re very adaptable.
