Today’s misinformation from Justin Rowlatt:
You may have noticed that Easter eggs are more expensive this year.
But did you know that climate change is one of the reasons?
Most chocolate is made from cocoa grown in West Africa, but a humid heatwave has blasted the crops and massively cut yields.
Experts say that human-induced climate change has made the extreme heat 10 times more likely.
Which? found some popular eggs have risen in price by 50% or more.
