Scientists have warned that the cocoa plant could go extinct within 32 years as the threat of rising temperatures might ruin the necessary conditions for the plant to thrive.

Climate change has jeopardized the very existence of chocolate: according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a temperature rise of 2.1 degrees centigrade could leave humanity without chocolate by the year 2050.

Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana, the two major cocoa exporters, each have the necessary climate conditions for the cocoa plant to grow and thrive, including an appropriate humidity level and temperature. The rise in temperatures will lead to a loss of ground moisture and destroy the chocolate industry.

Doug Hawkins of the London-based research firm Hardman Agribusiness told The Mail Online that the problem is that the cocoa farming methods haven’t changed for hundreds of years.

Scientists from the University of California at Berkley joined forces with the famous American confectionery manufacturer Mars in a bid to avert possible impacts on chocolate production. Using a special gene-editing technology, CRISPR, they might be able to develop a cocoa plant capable of surviving in drier conditions.

Whats the big deal? Cocoa plants can be crossbreed with another plant to produce a new species of cocoa, capable enough of bearing high temperature.

I'll open my own ' well wisher and the chocolate factory 'to overcome the scarcity of chocolates in the world .

Problem is not the factory but right conditions for the plant to grow.

Try farming.

Honey bees will be gone too and with that some 80% of fruit production in the world as honey bees help in fertilization. Allah pak said near Qayamah, among the first things he would lift from earth is Honey. Then there are many other including shifa (recovery from disease), love abd there is a list of 10 items and final one will be wording of Quran.

May Allah Forgive us all and raise us among Momineen and Sulaheen.
