This is not cool. Beer - what next? Hot Dogs and Baseball? But it starts dealing with a bigger problem I have - I have a problem with the "coolness" factor of fighting Global Warming. My problem is that Global Warming just isn't cool enough. And neither is the "weapons" and gadgets to help me in this fight. No badge or hip gadget I can wear. Makes it difficult to know what I should do. A Prius? Not cool. Not like the FJ Cruiser. Windfarms? Cool but I can't carry it around like an iPod to show off. Those pesky CO2's are just so tiny - smaller than the diamond my wife will accept and bigger than I can afford? http://angryafrican.net/2008/04/03/global-warming-is-just ...

...has actually been havin' a big effect on prices.  Farmers have been switchin' over to corn production, which has cut down on barley and wheat production, thus risin' beer prices.

Have been through the roof as well.  I know someone who planted hops on the south side of his house to reduce solar load in the summer - now that's a green combination of energy efficiency and helping out the beer shortage.
