A new mini-report from the environmental group Climate Nexus points out that climate change is poised to wreck Valentine's Day, or at least change it significantly, by threatening chocolate production.

Someone needs to hurry up and find more places for the plants to grow well.... it would be a dim world without chocolate or to not be able to afford to buy it.

Here's my Valentine's Day idea --- let's suggest to our loved ones that they make a donation to one of our favorite causes instead of buying chocolate (or flowers or jewelry or cards or whatever). It will spread the love around and last longer!! Thanks for the article, Cal... noted!

The women of this world have yet another huge incentive to support efforts to halt and reverse climate change! A world without chocolate? Unthinkable!

Sad to read that the climate change is affecting chocolate. Doesn't surprise me much since the climate change is doing a number to lots of things. Wish I could stop it totally, but all I can do is my part each and every day to help slow it down. Now if we all can do just do a little each day to help. Maybe we can bring on a big change.
Thanks Cal

Sorry page not found Cal
But judging just from your first part about climate change affecting chocolate, it would be such a shame.
