Despite Yields Doubling, NYTimes Claims Vanilla Is Disappearing From Climate Change
by James Taylor 5 hours ago
The New York Times is attempting to stoke climate alarm this week with an article claiming the world’s favorite scent – vanilla – is about to disappear because climate change is eradicating vanilla plants. [emphasis, links added]
In reality, objective data show vanilla production has doubled since the year 2000, and the current market is saturated with oversupply.
The Times article, “This Is How the World’s Favorite Scent Disappears,” notes vanilla is the world’s favorite scent and is used in a wide variety of perfumes and other products.
Citing anecdotal events like a cyclone that hit Madagascar several years ago during its annual cyclone season, the Times claims supersized cyclones are putting vanilla plants on the verge of extinction.
