And the bartender tells them: “Beer has risen in price.” And the reason for this is global warming.

The British scientific journal Nature, one of the oldest and most respected in the world, published a study by scientists from the University of East Anglia. From global warming, barley crops are becoming harder. Scientists believe that an increase in the average temperature around the world will lead to a loss of barley crop by 5-17%.

In addition, global stuffiness will affect grain quality. Most of the crop will fit except for fodder - livestock feed, but not for malt. The British love beer, of course, not as enthusiastically as the Czechs, but they are very picky about its quality. Czech Republic - the leader in beer consumption in the world, according to 2012, 148 liters per year per capita! The British have a total of 68, Russia 74, Ukraine 61. But it is likely that these figures will soon decrease significantly, since a decrease in barley harvest and its quality will lead to a reduction in beer production. According to researchers, prices will rise at least twice. The British forecast that global beer consumption will decrease by 29 billion liters due to global warming, as much as America alone consumes today.
