For all that we're hearing about decarbonising our energy-supply (which this blog supports) I wasn't quite prepared to see that we are now enduring a... carbon dioxide shortage.
Honestly I don't care about lacking that carbonate fizz in my soda; I don't even drink pop. Or "coke". Whatever. What surprises me is that carbon needs be introduced into... beer. I had thought that beer carbonated itself through the fermentation process, mediated through yeast and not through chloroplasts. No: the Coors brewery having ejected CO2 into our air then buys it back.
Maybe they could buy the CO2 from the ejecta from natural-gas / petroleum plants. A sulfur shortage has been ongoing, as well.
