Scientists have put forward a shocking theory, according to which, in a few years, popular and customary for many products may disappear. It's worth figuring out what kind of yummy clothes to put on, while there's still time.
People do not even suspect how fast the world is changing, and in most cases human activities are guilty of bad trends. Scientists have conducted research and found that there is a serious risk that after some time some favorite foods may disappear from the face of the Earth. Believe me, the information is shocking.
1. A terrible dream - a life without chocolate
Before reading further, it is recommended to drink valerian or at least sit down. Imagine, there is an assumption that in about 50 years, a "true friend" of many women - chocolate - will either be worth a lot of money, or completely disappear (blow below the belt). There are several reasons for the lack of cocoa. Firstly, a serious disease of cocoa trees spreads around the world, which destroys about 1/3 of the world's harvest. Secondly, in the territories where about 70% of the world's cocoa is produced, there are frequent droughts. Thirdly, the cocoa trees grow old and the landings are updated irregularly, but the demand for chocolate is growing steadily.
2. It's impossible to imagine your morning without coffee
Many people are not fully aware of the tragedy of climate change, which has long been irreversible. Scientists have calculated that there is a huge probability that by 2080 from the planet, you just imagine, completely disappear the coffee trees. Hence the advice: while there is time, enjoy your favorite fragrant drink, because how to influence the situation, have not yet come up.
3. Eat seafood until you can.
Even children know about global warming. But scientists thanks to the modeling of climate change have come to a disappointing conclusion - the water temperature in the seas and oceans is growing. In addition, there is a dilution of the waters of the world ocean, which reduces the concentration of salt in the upper layers of sea water. All this negatively affects marine microorganisms - bacteria and plankton, and this will already affect the next representative of the food chain - mussels and other filter feeders. In general, soon such product, as mussels, can disappear.
4. A useful fruit, but exacting
In many dishes, avocados are used, which is beneficial for health and figure. If you like this fruit, you probably noticed that the price has been rising steadily lately. This situation is a completely logical explanation. The main supplier of avocados is California (USA), in the territory of which there are severe droughts. In order to get 1 kg of fruit you need to spend 1 thousand liters of water. If the weather does not change, then the prospects are deplorable.
5. Traditional Canadian product
Not for all of us maple syrup is familiar, but here in Canada and America many people have heard about it. In addition, it is one of the traditional souvenirs of the country. There is a high probability that soon the syrup will remain a memory, because to get the required amount of juice, the maple needs a long winter. According to the research, the cold season in the territory of America is getting shorter every year.
6. Tragedy not only for monkeys
The most popular type of banana that is sold around the world - "Cavendish" - may soon disappear. The whole blame for the terrible fungal disease, which because of its high speed of distribution was called "tropical race 4". The disease attacks the root system, which does not allow the tree to receive the necessary amount of nutrients, as a result, it dies. A large number of plantations are disappearing because of this problem.
7. The deplorable news for fans of a foamy drink
Few people had an idea, being in a bar that once ordered a customary beer, it will be difficult and even impossible. Many brewers are sure that in the near future a foamy drink will change its habitual taste. This is explained by the fact that there is an increase in temperature in hops, and this reduces the content of alpha-acids, which are responsible for the taste of beer. To cope with this problem, it is necessary to cultivate new varieties that will contain more acids.
8. It is urgent to stop
Unfortunately, people are themselves the main enemies for themselves. Fish - a popular product in different countries, but, according to statistics, catching absolutely all species at the moment is happening with great speed, and the populations do not have time to recover. If this trend continues, then in 2050 the fish can completely disappear from the face of the Earth.
9. We will have to look for a new source of vitamin C
Few can imagine the New Year without this fragrant and bright citrus, and your morning - without orange juice. For all the bad news - orange trees were attacked by a serious disease - the greening of citrus. At the moment, there is no way to combat the problem. The only solution to stop the spread of the disease is to dig a tree together with the root system. The main vector of the disease is aphids, which attacked the territory of America and Asia.
10. Legumes in great danger
A useful product is the chickpea, from which various popular dishes are prepared. The situation with this culture is similar to that described for avocados. So, in order to grow 1 kg of chickpeas, you need to spend more than 2 thousand liters of water. This is becoming more difficult to realize, given the global warming and drought. According to statistics, product production has already decreased by 40%.
11. Nuts that suffer from heat
Fried, salted and spicy peanuts - how delicious! But soon people can lose pleasure in enjoying these nuts. The data are disappointing. So, there is a version that by 2030 peanuts will not be grown. This is due to the fact that this plant needs a stable climate, and the southern regions, where the main percentage of the world's crop is grown, is seriously affected by drought.
12. Bad news for slimming
People who follow their shape and health can afford pasta from hard wheat varieties. Negative impact on their growth is influenced by climate change, and there is a great risk that, as early as 2020, wheat fields will begin to dry up actively, which will lead to the complete disappearance of crops.
13. Serious threat to winemaking
Not only coffee, orange juice and beer can disappear. The threat hung over the wine. The reason is still the same - global warming. Not many know that the best time for harvesting is the period after the rain that passed after the drought. In recent years, droughts are too long, so the harvest of grapes is relentlessly declining.
14. These are some wrong bees
People who have their apiaries are constantly insisting that a serious misfortune is coming: every year the population of bees is decreasing, and this directly affects the amount of honey produced by them. According to statistics, over the past ten years, the population of honey-bearing workers declined by 40%. Do not forget that bees are an important element of the ecosystem, and with their complete disappearance on the earth, more serious problems will arise.
