An NBC News journalismer found a way to use climate change to ruin your Valentine's Day: they're coming after CHOCOLATE
It’s unclear why the left ties every minor inconvenience to climate change but they have mastered this technique perfectly, as they have somehow connected Valentine's Chocolate prices to this invisible evil.
NBC has reported that Climate Change is making chocolate more expensive.
Ahead of Valentine’s Day, @NBCNews speaks with Jason Clay about how climate change is impacting cocoa production in West Africa—and why collaboration, not competition, is key to sustainability. https://t.co/bA2zcEM9eV

According to the outlet:
The price of raw cocoa, chocolate’s key ingredient, has surged by 200% over the past year, according to Adobe Analytics, which tracks online retail prices. On global commodities markets, cocoa futures are down slightly in recent weeks after peaking above $12,000 per ton — a record — just before Christmas. Two years ago, they were less than $2,500.
The historic price run-up just ahead of the chocolate industry’s biggest day of the year has been months in the making. Disruptive weather patterns fueled by climate change have hammered West Africa, where most of the world’s cacao, the raw form of the bean that gets processed into cocoa, is grown. Similar challenges have been mounting for coffee farmers, too, fueling a sharp price spike on global markets that consumers are increasingly expected to feel this year.
In other words, the weather is tied to farming outcomes. Wow. Who would've thunk it?!
The cacao bean grows best in temperatures up to 89 degrees Fahrenheit and with annual rainfall less than 2,000 millimeters. In 2024, 71% of cacao-producing areas in West Africa experienced an average of 42 days with temperatures above that heat threshold, with some areas receiving 40% more rainfall than expected during the peak of the rainy season, according to a report released this week by Climate Central, a climate research institute.
The left will take any change and blame the masses for not doing their rain dance. However, in this case, people have been doing too many rain dances.
So, what would be the solution to this chocolate crisis? Taxing the masses into oblivion? If people do fewer rain dances, won’t that be bad for other parts of the world? The answer is unclear, but it’s evident that the left takes any change in weather patterns and ties it to climate change while blaming you for simply breathing.
You cannot win with these people, which is why they use the term “climate change.” Any change in the climate is considered an existential crisis, making anything and everything a result of your existence.
It’s unclear if perfect weather conditions for raw cocoa to thrive would get these people to shut up but I think you know the answer. So while the left blames human existence for things out of their control, they offer no answer to this fake crisis besides demanding you eventually exist in a miserable, nanny state where your breath is taxed by the government.
According to NBC, you will have to live with more fruits and nuts in your chocolates this Valentine's Day and it’s unclear how this was newsworthy. Nonetheless, please keep track of your rain dances from now on, as the left cannot take another chocolate crisis.
