不断上升的全球气温不仅影响到我们的安全,也影响着人类的饮食。
东英吉利大学开展的一项研究发现,极端天气和啤酒消费量之间存在联系。
研究人员称,极端天气条件可能导致全球啤酒消费量下降16%,等于全球少喝了290亿升啤酒,这相当于美国全年消费的啤酒总量。
问题出现在供给而非需求上。
如果发生与气候相关的现代灾害,农民可能没有办法保证大麦的产量,而大麦是啤酒的主要成分。
中国作为世界上最大的啤酒消费国,受到的影响将更加严重。
如果未来出现极端高温天气或干旱,中国的啤酒消费量可能会下降约10%,也就是说全国人将少喝120亿罐啤酒。
研究人员称:"我们想说的是,如果人们以后仍想边看足球比赛边喝啤酒,就必须对气候变化采取行动。
