How many people might this wake up into finally making changes to stop/limit climate change????? personally, I don't care the reason that people will work to improve the world for the future, but I will take any reason!!!!! Good luck to the farmers, this will make it only make it more difficult to sustain a life.....

YIKES, this is horrible!!! I always keep dark chocolate at my desk, it helps get me through some rough times, and those poor farmers :(

Saturday October 1, 2011, 12:54 pm
This is serious indeed.

Let us take due note!

Saturday October 1, 2011, 2:00 pm
Noted with thanks Cal. This could turn into a disaster for the cocao trees. Action should be taking place now, and the farmers should get some help!

We from more prosperous nations must find a way to help Africa and if there is a way to adjust to climate change find it before the world's poor become even less than that.

Saturday October 1, 2011, 3:15 pm
Look at the bright side - if cocoa production moves elsewhere like perhaps southern Europe a lot os child labour and slavery will be over.

And as long as developing nations like China, India and Brazil insist that they can increase CO2 emissions as they see fit NOTHING Europe and US can do will make much of a differnce - If the US and Europe went to zero emisssions tomorow it still wouldn't be enough to avert change.

Saturday October 1, 2011, 4:50 pm
this alarming for us humans

Saturday October 1, 2011, 5:33 pm
Bad news, because for many farmers, cocoa is the main source of income.

Saturday October 1, 2011, 6:15 pm
Not very good news! I Love Chocolate! I hope something can be done!

Saturday October 1, 2011, 6:36 pm
Thanks, Cal! I agree with Dave, I hope this wakes up the many chocoholics throughout the world to climate change!

Saturday October 1, 2011, 9:09 pm
We have to halt/mitigate climate change. Perhaps the threat to chocolate will spur politicians to action.

Saturday October 1, 2011, 9:58 pm
So sad. Amazing to read how much the climate change is causing so much danage. Thanks Cal

Another grim reality. I hope some thought is put into adaptation and that they are able to keep the palm oil planters out. Reforestation might be of help, but what would really help the survival of people everywhere is if we pull our belts in and if we do not have as many children anymore.

Thank you for telling us. This is really a tragic story. Something must be done. Once again, poor and underprivileged people have to pay the price for our excesses.

Sunday October 2, 2011, 6:07 am
I have to wonder if the fact that the Cacao tree is an introduced for for profit not a native to Africa but to Central and South America has anything to do with this.

Sunday October 2, 2011, 11:47 am
