But there’s one glimmer hope on the horizon: Mars—the candy company which makes such chocolate treats as the Snickers and the Twix bar—has teamed up with the University of California on a new method that may help save future cacao crops.

Good riddance. Whereas every other day, you proclaim your love for your significant other, on Feb. 14, you get to spend precious money to do it!

Cocoa and Coca are completely different plants.

And Coca-Cola trees are something completely different as well ...

Actually, no. Cow farts are causing global warming.

So, in effect, chocolate/cocoa isn't going extinct ...

...it's committing suicide!

No more chocolate? Oh no! Whatever shall we do?

Reminds me of Ghostbusters:

“...real wrath of God type stuff.

Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!

Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...

The dead rising from the grave!

Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!”

the scare mongers bring out this ‘threat’ every 2 or 3 years and always have the date of elimination being a decade or so later.

Who cares if he’s an atheist. It’s a choice in your life at any moment in time. And I can’t find anything to backup your kill the babies call.

Hey, according to the 2017 Lake Superior State College’s list of banished words and phrases, you’re not supposed to say “fake news” anymore!

Well, that's a new way to try to get people to take the global warming cultists more seriously - "global warming will take away your chocolate".

Under communism, the system won't be able to produce chocolate, so the loss of cocao plants won't be a big deal. Just ask Venezuela.

"Actually, as Winston was aware, the chocolate ration was to be reduced from thirty grammes to twenty at the end of the present week. All that was needed was to substitute for the original promise a warning that it would probably be necessary to reduce the ration at some time in April."
