科学家发出了警告,制作巧克力所用的可可树或将在31年内灭绝,真是这样的话,巧克力很快就会成为历史了。仅科特迪瓦和加纳这两个西非国家,就提供了世界上超过半数的巧克力,因为两地的温度、降水及湿度为可可树创造了绝佳的生长环境。但由于气候变化,气温在未来30年将持续升高,这会导致土壤水分流失——科学家认为,环境中微妙的平衡关系将因此被打破。
Chocolate could soon be a thing of the past,after scientists warned that the cacao plant,from which chocolate is made,could be extinct within 31 years.Over half of the world’s chocolate comes from just two countries in West Africa—C?te d’Ivoire and Ghana—where the temperature,rain,and humidity provide the perfect conditions for cacao to thrive.
