Climate change threatens Valentine's Day gift of chocolates, charity warns

The article from MSN discusses how climate change is posing a significant threat to the production of cocoa, a key ingredient in chocolate, which could impact Valentine's Day traditions.

This not only threatens the livelihoods of these farmers but also the global supply of chocolate. The charity warns that without intervention, the cost of chocolate could rise, and its availability might decrease, potentially affecting the traditional gift-giving associated with Valentine's Day. Christian Aid is calling for more sustainable farming practices and support for farmers to adapt to these changing conditions to ensure the future of chocolate production.
