BEER will be short supply, more expensive and may taste different as climate change affects barley production, a scientist says.
Drought conditions in parts of Australia where malting barley was grown was likely to get worse, according to Jim Salinger of New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

That reminds me of another problem, hopefully, the grass will not be badly affected.

hmm... Interesting. Are you going do harvest in and all the other things you need to do? Or are you just going to grow it?

Brewing is easy. Malting? Not so much. You can't make beer from unmalted barley.

Yes, yes. Now that the extremely destructive side of global warming has bared itself, we should do everything to prevent it.

No. Considering the Bush Administration's competence, they'd make us fill the bunker with Coors Lite.

Hehe... Looks like you guys are going to have to watch each other while you guard the beer...
Harsh... If you're in the bunker doesn't that mean you have direct access to the beer? and with Tamh having the key... It means that you're locked in...
You got yourself a good wicket there...

I've been doing a bit of arithmetic....
4 people down there guarding the beer........how we can be sure we have all the essential varieties....how much of each variety we should safeguard....
like.......how long are we gonna be down there?
who's organising the food...
PS TAMH: we can construct a nice, non-smelly earth closet in no time.........and there's always the empties ;)

Now that Sarcophilus has shown us the way, I think my stay inside the bunker would be good... with plenty of BEER. ;)

Beer is affected here also, but it's because of the energy crisis not global warming.
Cost may make you cry in your beer
Like everything else that is wrong in this country... It's Bush's fault! :)
* I think I need another beer!*
