World can be without chocolate in 40 years

Experts predict that the world would run out of chocolate within 40 years because the cocoa plants are struggling to survive in warmer climates. The news is the British tabloid Daily Mail.
According to the newspaper, the cocoa trees only thrive in specific conditions, with high humidity and abundant rainfall. However, a temperature increase of 2.1° C predicted to happen in the next 30 years should wreak havoc on crops and on your time, in the world of industrial chocolate. The forecast is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a government institution that is part of the United States Department of Commerce.
Scientists say that as the mercury in the soil increases and get him water, it is unlikely that the rains increase enough to offset the loss of moisture. This means that areas of cocoa production should be pushed to mountainous terrain, highest, carefully preserved for the survival of plants.
Since the Decade of 1990, more than a billion from investors in China, Indonesia, India, Brazil and the former Soviet Union entered the cocoa market. Despite the increase in demand, the raw material is not maintained and cocoa stocks are falling.
