I’m pretty sure that’s hot cocoa, not coffee.

Climate change could lower the quality of your coffee

And for this reason we should put limits on our industry that will cripple them, while china and india have none. /sarc

1/2 tablet of “Jet-Alert” will restore your expectations. Dollar General, $3 for 100 I cut in half.

High demand and tight supply sounds like a great investment opportunity.

I don't think I'll be needing a cup of coffee 83 years from now.
In the year twenty five twenty five won't need coffee to open my eyes, Won't need to get out of bed, the news will just stream into my head.

According to a report from World Coffee Research, the demand for coffee will have doubled by 2050

That's an ambitious projection. Trends can change. Will there even still be baristas in the year 2525, I mean 2050?

What will it take for people to care about climate change? For some, the thought of a crummier cup of coffee in the morning just might do it.

The Washington Post ("Helping Democracy Die in Darkness") informed us the other day that rats and other vermin are flooding into peoples' bedrooms because of the fraction of a degree of recent global warming.

There might be a credibility issue here.

No doubt this defense for GLOBAL WARMING came from STARBUCKS.

Another global warming doom story starting off with “could”.

“The problem is coffee producers aren’t paid enough”

Apparently those fair trade Star-Bucks don’t trickle down to Juan Valdez harvesting the coffee beans.

If a cup of coffee at Starbucks today is $3-8, how much will it be in 2050? $10-20 a cup?

By the end of the century? 83 years from now?

The hubris of anyone that wants to predict things a century in the future should disqualify them from intelligent society.

Do they pay people to write this Climate Change drivel? I think I could write a simple AI program to generate it for cheap. Make a long database of Bad Things That Might Happen, select one at random to pour into some alarmist boilerplate, and voila!

Ethiopian coffee? Shades of Starvin Marvin.

I’ll stick with Colombian, thank you.

> 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. <

Funny how often the climate change folks use the word "could". But I don't recall Newton saying "For every action there could be an equal and opposite reaction."

Or Einstein saying "E could equal mc squared".

Kind of makes me suspect that climate change science really isn't science at all.

OK, that’s it.

I was fine with not being able to breath because of the overabundance of greenhouse gases. I could live with the bubbling, puss-filled blisters on my body from the 120° temperatures outside. I could even see moving onto a houseboat because my land-based house will be underwater. And, I don’t give a rat’s patootie about a few polar bears giving their lives so I can drive my SUV.

BUTT DON’T SCREW WITH MY COFFEE!

If they tell me that my bacon will be affected...I’m joining Algore, and going all Antifa on the anti-climate-changers.

It’s war, baby.

In the movie Idiocracy, by 2505 Starbucks is a men’s ‘club’ - don’t forget to ask for extra foam...
