The terms are synonymous.

The fact is Global Warming will effect the cost of everything. There is no way around it. Either choose to take the costs now or be forced to take them later.

my first impression is that this is an attempted wake up call to the apathetic homer simpsons of the world.

"hey, the earth is warming up"
"so?"
"so...it's going to melt ice and raise sea levels."
"so??"
"so........it's going to make BEER hard to get!"
"OMFG why didn't you say that in the first place?!"

i think i'm going to decide that my stance is this: we're helping to accelerate a natural warming trend. i don't think it's one or the other, i think it's both.

Oh say it isn't so! Not my one true pleasure in life.
OK..must stockpile.
Time to clean the basement..must make room!

"Last call before global warming" <----Now that would have been a good name for this thread.

I think beer will be the last thing to worry about if global warming is true.
Well for most people at least.

ohhh nooo ..... im doing my part for a better world for our children's, i hope they get to taste beer

First it was gas.
Then it was food.
Now it is beer.



They've gone too far!

oh wow didn't see this one coming

will this be impacting the production of hard alcohol is well

i mean i love my beer and i would be pretty pissed if i couldn't drink beer anymore but if there was still hard alcohol i guess i could live with it

this is crazy though

i'm with AD on this

time to start stocking up!!!

nice post ducky

This is the most critical mass thread we have. Delete all other threads and lets get to work turning the climate back. Red alert! sirens on. all able bodies to battle stations!

Dear God, man! I never thought we'd go down like this...not like this.

It reads like the back of a direct-to-video sci-fi/horror flick:

"It's last call for planet Earth as fields of barley and hops are razed world-wide by global warming in this post-apocalyptic visual effects extravaganza directed by Uwe Bole.

Spring Break just got a little hotter as six teenagers (Freddie Prinze Jr., Tara Reid, Mario Lopez, Lindsay Lohan, Corey Haim, and Paris Hilton) hit the once beautiful South Padre Island in the midst of a massive global warming heat-wave that drives human coeds insane with violent beer-lust! After stumbling across a buried treasure ice chest full of cold brew, the teens must survive the rampage of the heat-maddened zombies, led by a mysteriously powerful oil-magnate turned dictator (Robert Downey Jr.). It’s flame-throwers fueled with tanning oil in this all-out action adventure as the teens struggle to keep the horde from cracking open a cold one…their skulls!”

I don’t think we really need to worry about beer becoming completely un-stocked on our shelves any time soon, but lately, anything any corporation can do to blame global warming or this fake oil shortage for a jump in prices for the sake of higher profits is going to do it, so yeah, it will become more expensive. But I don’t think people will stand by and let beer prices get as high as oil before they revolt. Once beer and alcohol are no longer available to the masses, then you will know we are in the apocalypse.

What we do need to worry about soon though…is Uwe Boll making more movies.

I don't think this will go well with the downtowns 24 pubs and bars hehe, but the city where I am from lets say business is kinda of dying.

I'm surprised they haven't mentioned anything about cannabis farms, i'm sure that would get some pretty rabid feedback.

edit; This just in;

Global Warming has been pointed to as the leading cause in the downward slope of criminal activity in ganglands across america and europe.

Health officials are said to be pleased about this, and that Global Warming is obviously doing Society a whole world of Good

Now all we need is a few more respectable scientists to tell developed nations that global warming is endangering porn, fast food, fashion and entertainment industries and the Green Revolution will be unstoppable.
