Crops may move, but farms can't. What kind of environmental damage is created when more land is put to the plow? What happens as arable land decreases and more of that land has to be dedicated to food production?
Since that "beer prices are going to skyrocket due to climate change" article is getting a lot of visibility, note that their assumptions don't really track reality. Barley crops move, technology improves and the beer biz is already preparing for changes.https://www.brewersassociation.org/insights/evolving-beers-supply-chain-in-an-era-of-climate-change/ …

I agree these are serious issues - but they have nothing to do with the original article. Climate change is certainly going to cause challenges, but that doesn't mean beer is going to go away.

But what about Fusarium head blight? There will be competition for acreage between barley and other crops with geography playing a huge role. FHB thrives in warm and humid conditions.
