Seriously, do the peasants in the UK need more scary fables? The government really doesn’t give a damned what they think and will force them, and have been forcing them for 15 years, to comply with climate cult doctrine
Tea shortage warning as climate crisis sees production plummet and prices soar
Kenyan growers who produce black tea for British supermarket shelves have warned that climate impacts are damaging crop harvests and further diminishing their already “scarce” household incomes.
The East African nation currently provides half of all black tea consumed across Britain, but local farmers face increasingly unpredictable weather patterns, lower crop yields and quality, alongside escalating operational expenses over recent years.
These compounding issues have driven up global tea costs, leaving supermarket shoppers in the UK paying noticeably higher prices for their favourite beverage.
Yet impoverished farmers at the start of the supply chain see little financial gain from higher market prices. Harvesting smaller crops while spending more to maintain them, growers watch as intermediaries, brokers and large corporate firms continue absorbing the vast majority of total profits.
Right now Kenya is having a drought. But, it also has floods interspersed. And the weather always plays a challenging role, now and in the past. This is all just meant to scare people into giving up their money and freedom.
If the British had any balls, they’d be drinking coffee, not tea.
Global Warming will force humans to adjust and adapt. We’re a most adaptable species!
That said, most things have a price, and clever humans strive to survive. We’ll figger it out.
Arabica beans, which make up 60% to 70% of global production, are highly sensitive to heat and direct sunlight. Warmer and more humid conditions help spread destructive threats like leaf rust. Top producing regions in Latin America, Central Africa, and Southeast Asia face severe drops in soil quality and land suitability.
Sorry, that’s about manly coffee, not pussy tea. BTW, it was the effeminate Brits who founded the United States and cleansed the lands of violent unchristian aboriginies! All without automatic weapons!
