Is ‘Climate Change’ Causing Demise Of The Humble Bakewell Tart?
Last week, The Telegraph published a piece that claimed ‘climate change’ is killing off the humble Bakewell Tart
Climate change could kill off the authentic Bakewell tart, a manufacturer has warned.
The cherry-topped Derbyshire pudding is now being produced without almonds by some makers because of supply chain problems linked to global warming.
Supplies of the nut are under strain because of extreme heat and declining water quality in California, where 80 per cent of the world’s almonds come from.
Full story here.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, global production of almonds has been rising in the last decade and was close to a record high last year:

UN data does not include 2024, but clearly shows output of almonds is running at three times the level of thirty years ago:

Tim Sigsworth, who wrote this pile of garbage, is typical of the wet behind the ear, fresh out of Uni person who are let loose on newspapers these days, but who have little knowledge of how the real world works.

Editor’s note: Sigsworth must have fallen hook, line and sinker for the climate propaganda and lies that is now taught at schools and universities. He is a classic example of the indoctrinated fool, who quite obviously has done no checking to see if this story has any truth to it. If he had, he would have found the charts Paul Homewood did, which would have been the perfect reason to kill this ridiculous story. He could well be what Monty Python called an ‘Upper Class Twit Of The Year’.
As an aside, the surname Sigsworth shows he is a descendant of the 7th century Anglo-Saxon ruler Sæberht, the first English ruler to convert to Christianity, and whose burial chamber was discovered at Prittlewell in Essex in 2003. The surnames Sigsworth, Sabsworth and the town of Sawbridgworth are modern relics of the original name.

Well, in the event that ‘Global Warming’ should prove to be real, then at least look on the bright side: The tarts will bake very well indeed.

Tim Sigworth an almond aficionado? Then he is, quite literally, a nutter.
