Climate Expert Debunks The Climate BS In The Wall Street Journal
by Brian Sussman 6 hours ago
My publisher contacted me this week, drawing attention to a Wall Street Journal article claiming climate change is producing shortages of “the finer things in life,” like wine, coffee, cocoa, and olive oil. [emphasis, links added]
The implication was clear: your carbon footprint is causing the price of these commodities to sharply rise.
“Total bull-bleep,” I replied.
Specifically, the story speaks of the recent drought in West Africa, which has resulted in a cocoa shortage; dry spells in Vietnam, which have reduced coffee harvests; and parched Italian olive groves and grape vineyards, which were recently destroyed by wildfires.
None of these meteorological events has anything to do with the use of fossil fuels and the subsequent release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
