Silly story of the week from the Telegraph:
Climate change could kill off the authentic Bakewell tart, a manufacturer has warned.
The cherry-topped Derbyshire pudding is now being produced without almonds by some makers because of supply chain problems linked to global warming.
Supplies of the nut are under strain because of extreme heat and declining water quality in California, where 80 per cent of the world’s almonds come from.
Full story here.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, global production of almonds has been rising in the last decade and was close to a record high last year:

UN data does not include 2024, but clearly shows output of almonds is running at three times the level of thirty years ago:

Tim Sigsworth, who wrote this pile of garbage, is typical of the wet behind the ear, fresh out of Uni who are let loose on newspapers these days, but who have little knowledge of how the real world works.
