Shut the power off at CNN! Save the planet!
Perhaps, the Dept. of Genetics at CalState Humboldt will provide an update on their work to genetically modify Cannabis so that it has coffee flavors.
Sure, publicize this lie far and wide to justify raising the cost of coffee.
What do Ethiopians and Yoko Ono have in common?

They both live off dead Beatles.
The trend is your friend until the bend.
I the last cup of Ethiopian coffee I had was...never!
It COULD make your feet stink too... then again unicorns can too.
Oklahoma State University initiated a farming program in 1955 in Ethiopia, and it was a great success. Ethiopia quickly became a net food exporter. Then, of course, the new Socialist government came along and decided that it knew better how to manage the land, and they've been infamous for starvation ever since.
Most global food shortages are NOT due to geography and geology, but are due to government and local thugs and the desire for some people to control all others. Zimbabwe was known as "the breadbasket of sub-Saharan Africa" for decades, and now they cannot feed themselves... again, not because of farming land or techniques, but because government "got involved".
“A new study finds that Ethiopia, the world’s fifth-largest coffee producer, could lose up to 60% of its suitable farming land by the end of this century because of climate change.
The study, published Monday in Nature Plants, found the combination of low rainfall and rising temperatures could have substantial effects on the coffee-growing areas in the country.”
Could and could. In other words, crapola.
Here’s a thought. By eliminating the NY Times, the Washinton Post, the LA Times and the Boston Globe, as well as most left wing publications including Time, Newsweek, Salon and the Atlantic thousands of trees can be saved every year to soak up the additional carbon that the coffee industry will need to keep their crops alive.
Basically, what do you want more? A good morning cup of Joe or the editorial page from the NY Slimes? Personally, I choose coffee because I read the morning paper on my cell phone.
Well said.
“Could”.
Tough luck for the Ethiopians...someother countries will find that they then have ideal coffee growing climates.
Funny though, that I never encountered Ethiopian coffee in the retail market though the article touts it has having 20% of the world market...must be Proctor & Gamble buying all their crap coffee.
I suggest that elected official who are worried about climate change take the next step and stare down the sun until it bows to their wishes. Usually takes at least a half an hour.
Or not.....
Doom porn.
However climate change will reduce snowshoe accidents
Seems to me like they are setting us up with a prearranged excuse to raise the price of coffee again. I’m not getting any bargain at the present prices,so SOMEBODY is making money on it. I think that any money given to offset climate change must come with a guarantee,but I think they know it won’t be affected much no matter what we pay towards the effort.
Is that first pic. Jon Ossoff the morning after Election Day?
Back in the 70s I bought a pack of strawberry rolling papers that were quite tasty! Never found them again...
b-b-b-but the science is settled... /s
