Latest victim of global warming: loaves of bread will be smaller in future, warn scientists
The Telegraph ^ | 22 Jun 2015 | Jonathan Pearlman

Long-term global warming will have a deflating effect on bread, and a “2050 loaf” will be crumpled and small due a reduction in the amount of protein in grains, Australian scientists have found.

It will happen not because of these false prophets of global warming, it will happen because there will be less CO2 for plants to grow and breath.

More humans, more CO2, the more plants there will be.

The warmer earth’s climate over all, more plants.

Not that I believe them...but I’d love for them to perform the same experiment if the Earth were to get cooler. Hard to make bread with no grain. The icing on the insanity cake for the warming crowd is a fear of live preserving heat.

Exactly, there will be less bread and smaller bread if the climate gets warmer; there will be less bread and smaller bread if the climate gets cooler. Chalk this one up to another item where goreBull warming causes both extremes on a single spectrum to occur.

I suppose a corollary to this would be that climate change will cause bread molds to somehow shrink - that would cause smaller bread.

Actually with smaller families, smaller loaves of bread may be a smarter way of baking and shopping.

Future of bread if we don't devote trillion$ and create new government agencies and systems to avert this looming disaster...

In pre-Nazi Weimar Germany, there was a multitude of political parties, one of which had the sole platform of standardizing the size of loaves of bread. They actually had a seat or two in their parliament, the Reichstag.

Never one to miss an opportunity to pick up some votes, the Nazis adopted it in their party platform as well.

I wonder if Michelle Obama will order that sawdust be put in all loaves of white bread, to make them “healthier”.

They are already somewhat smaller — due to product shrinkage.

Mfgrs shrink the sizes of products and package them in the same wrappers to make consumers think they are getting the same sized product as previously. Of course, the prices on the shrinkage items are about the same as before the shrinkage.

Shrinkage is so bad in some stores that they had to get new shopping carts with lesser distances between the slats. Too many ‘shrinkaged’ products kept slipping through the wider slats of the old carts and ending up on the floors.

What a loaf.

The price or size of bread in 2050 won't be predicated on Global Warming, it will be on the actions governments take to supposedly combat it.

Scientists are so dumb.

Given the productivity of the San Joaquin Valley and the efforts of liberals to kill it, bread loaves aren’t the only thing that’s going to shrink.

Loaves of bread are getting smaller now thanks to the Obama Inflation that officially does not exist.

Right. Because NO ONE will grow grain in higher latitutes in Europe, Russia, Canada, the US and in the Southern Hemisphere.

I wish more people would vote more wisely with their dollars, that is, when Im considering which product to buy and both are of equal quality and relative price per ounce then I look at the amount in the package as sold. If the package is using some bizarre unit of sale, 13.5 ounces instead of 1b or whatever, then I don’t buy that product as it is clear to me that that company is trying to cheat me. When I recognize that a company is trying to improve margins through deceit, I remember and don’t buy any of their products if possible.

Its all been written already. All ya have to do is open and read Gods Word. Nothing to do with global warming, but instead, the proliferation of evil in the world. Almost time for God to pull the plug before he owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology.

The Third Seal, Famine
Revelation Chapter 6
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
A penny was a days wage. Pretty expensive.
Matthew Chapter 20: penny reference
1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard.
2 And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
