How Climate Change is a Summer Bummer

The Huffington Post published this infographic describing how global climate change is making summer a bummer. It describes how many favorite summer eats like watermelon could become scarce as climate change affects the honeybee population. It points out the consequences of coastal erosion, which could make days at the beach a thing of the past. The infographic then explains how drought could put an end to many fireworks displays due to high fire risks. Global warming could also affect beer prices and quality because barley farming is affected by drought and temperature fluctuations. Furthermore, the infographic explains how certain species of insects and animals are on a path to extinction because of global warming. The information was compiled from several sources, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture Research Service, ScienceDaily, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, and more.
