Well, on the one hand, ya got yer droughts, and on the other hand, ya got yer torrential rains. And some place, you see, they got heat waves like you wouldn’t believe. Of course, other people get those cold snaps.

What I think we should do, is panic.

I guess I will hold onto those sealed coffee containers with outdated stamps on them.

...but temperatures suddenly went several degrees down when it was already early morning,”

That's normal where I live. Coldest time of the night is around 7 in the morning.

I have quit believing this stuff about coffee. I think people are trying to manipulate the market. I have noticed over time that the predicted price increases never seem to materialize in any big way. Plus, Brazil is hardly the only place in the world where coffee is grown.

Dubai making its own rain to beat 120-degree heat.

They stole Rove’s weather machine. If a butterfly wing flap can cause a hurricane imagine what this could do. LOL

In all seriousness, cooling part of the world and causing rainstorms might have an effect. How global temperatures are tied together is still an imperfect science.

It’s simple, when you see the prices going up, buy less of it or don’t buy it at all.

I’ve reduced my coffee consumption by about 70 percent!

That’s the way you deal with rising prices and the greedy.

I’m assuming below zero means 0 Celsius.

I have several months worth of coffee in my pantry. When my favorite brands go on sale at Costco, I buy a couple of bags. If they don’t go on sale, I use what’s in my pantry. It helps me even out price swings.

Brazil isn’t the only coffee producing country but it is by far the largest. 2 million tons a year. I agree the speculators like volatility, they can make money that way. And with the gubbmint confetti-buck snoblower machine set to “HI” blowing dollars far and wide coffee is guaranteed to get spendy no matter what.

For a short while, about a year, during WWII coffee was rationed, one (1) pound every 35 days. I’d be making sure all my kids signed up too, whether they drank coffee or not!

What a coincidence. Your blog post is identical to one at Zerohedge.
