Have I seen this bit of doommongering? I’m not sure. The cult is always coming up with something new
Got milk? Climate change may be hurting both the quality and quantity of America’s supply
Americans drink tens of billions of pounds of milk each year to get muscle-building protein and bone-strengthening vitamin D and calcium.
But new research shows both the quality and quantity of milk production is under threat.
Heat stress due to human-caused climate change is reducing the protein and fat levels in milk, as well as impacting production, according to a study from New York’s Cornell University.
These impacts could sneakily lead to economic losses totaling millions, the school’s researchers warn, especially as years get hotter. Scientists say this year could be the hottest on record.
“The heat-induced dilution of these valuable milk components is happening a bit under the radar,” Ariel Ortiz-Bobea, an associate professor of agricultural economics at Cornell, said in a statement. “When you account for the deterioration in milk composition, the economic loss ends up being of the same order of magnitude as the yield effect, so it just basically doubles the damage.”
We can fix this with a tax and taking away your freedom, you know.
Global warming affects most things. It’s global, after all.

Mr Teach yaps: “We can fix this with a tax and taking away your freedom, you know.”
Qeeen Donny’s empirically stupid taxes (tariffs) alone have cost American consumers more than $230 BILLION. A YEAR!! The Queen’s profligacy is costing us BILLIONS more! But after all, Ronald Reagan proved deficits (Repubicun, that is) just don’t matter. $1.5 TRILLION for the Department of War to be spent by Lil Peter Hegseth. The stupid, bad, dumb “war” or “excursion” in Iran has accomplished only the mass redistribution of working class dollars to oil companies and for the House to spend.
But sure, Teach, keep cheering for Donny.
