When Climate Ignorance Makes News Boring: The Washington Post, Mars & Chocolate!

Global warming is effecting one of my guiltiest of guilty pleasures. From The Green Miles:

Which is a more interesting story:

• Industry threatened for some reason, and hopefully they'll figure that whole thing out.
• Industry threatened, identifies problem that menaces all of us, and decides to becomes leader in fighting it. Political consequences be damned!

Monday's Washington Post article on Mars, Inc. facing a looming chocolate shortage never once mentions global warming, even though the climate threats to chocolate production are clear and Mars is a leader on confronting climate change and its threats to the chocolate industry.

In case you don't feel like getting outta the boat, here's something pretty awesome that I did NOT know:

By 2040, Mars says, its offices and factories will use no fossil fuels and emit no greenhouse gases–because scientists believe that greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced by 80% by 2050, and getting to zero in the offices and factories will be needed for Mars to do its share. In agriculture, where the company has its biggest impact, Mars has pledged to buy 100% of its cocoa, coffee, tea, fish and palm oil from sources certified as sustainable by third parties.

“We have been unequivocally convinced by climate science that this is a real issue,” Kevin said. “Humanity is causing it. We should be setting a CO2 reduction goal that bears a resemblance to what scientists say your CO2 reduction goal should be.”

There's more too. I'm really impressed!

I guess I can begin feeling less guilty about those occasional M&M buys now. 'Cept for those pesky calories. *sigh* But wait, chocolate is a bean...right? Beans are fruits...right? I'm supposed to have a cup and a half of fruit each day...right?

I'm gonna be so damn healthy!
