Under the Desk News, Climate Change, and Hops Production
The TikTok creator known as "Under the Desk News" claims climate change is causing a decline in European hops, which will make beer more expensive and lower in quality. The segment links this agricultural issue to the Inflation Reduction Act's climate investments. The hosts dispute the climate change thesis, noting that hops production has historically shifted due to soil exhaustion and other factors.
