吃货的噩耗！气候变化正令10种食物变得濒危

在这份报告中，政府间气候变化专门委员会预计这些影响会令可可豆减产，这意味着在2020年前，每年生产出的巧克力棒、松露巧克力和巧克力粉会减少100万吨。

3 Tea 茶

When it comes to tea (the world's 2nd favorite beverage next to water), warmer climates and erratic precipitation aren't only shrinking the world's tea-growing regions, they're also messing with its distinct flavor.

说到茶（世界上受欢迎程度仅次于水的饮料），气候变暖和降水异常不但令全世界的茶叶种植区缩小，而且还在破坏茶的独特风味。

For example, in India, researchers have already discovered that the Indian Monsoon has brought more intense rainfall, which waterlogs plants and dilutes tea flavor.

以印度为例，研究人员已经发现印度季风带来了更强降水，这会给茶园带来涝灾，令茶的味道变淡。

Recent research coming out of the University of Southampton suggests that tea-producing areas in some places, notably East Africa, could decline by as much as 55 percent by 2050 as precipitation and temperatures change.

南安普顿大学最近的研究指出，一些地方（尤其是东非）的产茶区，随着降水和气温的变化，茶叶产量可能会在2050年前减少55%。

Tea pickers are also feeling the impacts of climate change. During harvest season, increased air temperatures are creating an increased risk of heatstroke for field workers.
