Arrivederci, cioppino? Climate change takes aim at our signature dish
East Bay Times ^ | September 12, 2018 | By LISA M. KRIEGER

On the eve of the Global Climate Action Summit, thousands of people are converging in San Francisco to save melting icebergs, endangered wildlife and drowning cities.

But imagine, if you can, a life with less cioppino.

Created in the late 1800s by Italian immigrants in San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood, the famed fish stew is one of many beloved foods – ranging from wine to sourdough bread - that’s likely to feel the stresses of climate change, researchers say. While the fate of one dish is far from a threat to humankind, it illustrates the far-reaching impact of something much bigger.

“Climate change will have profound effects on our global food systems on all levels,” said Alex Halliday, director of Columbia University’s Earth Institute. “It threatens our ability to produce food causing disruptions in prices, quality and earnings.”

The Golden Gate Restaurant Association reports that restaurants already are facing challenges with seafood and crop availability. “Just two years ago the water temperature led to issues with the start of crab season,” said director Gwyneth Borden, “and scientists suggest that climate change can lead to crops being less nutritional, which doesn’t even address the impact of taste.”

All that feces on the sidewalk causes more heat to be absorbed from the Sun.

It would be nice if they could clean up the waste and pollution from the streets of San Francisco.

A) These people are pathetic.
B) I don’t believe that seafood off the coast of California is being impacted by Climate Change.
C) Even if California were being impacted, I suggest you check the coast of British Columbia — perhaps it will become an untapped gold mine.

I saw a pic of him, his wife, and their four kids, all shot to death by the Russians.

It would be hard to eat in such a fecalized environment. Wind, evaporation, sun... no way.

No you didn’t. He and his charming wife gruesomely murdered their own 6 children with cyanide, then killed themselves.

No Russians or any other allied soldier did a thing to them.

So all of them are going to increase their carbon footprint to attend this event? Gee, that’s funny just like Al Gore flying private with his heard of SUVs.

“Climate change will have profound effects on our global food systems on all levels,”...

Yeah, being able to grow crops at more northerly latitudes will mean too much food, supporting too many more people and keeping them well fed. But the worst is it will interfere with the goals of UN Agenda 21, which calls for the reduction of Earth's human population by about 85%. If you can't starve 'em out you have to kill 'em some other way. Messy.
