It wasn't enough that the greenie left came for our light bulbs, our flush toilets, our guns, our plastic straws, our gas stoves, or our hamburgers.

Now they're coming for our coffee.

According to the New York Post:

Canadian researchers analyzed coffee’s “contribution to climate change” in a piece published in early January and suggested people moderate their consumption of the popular drink as a part of the solution.

Researchers Luciano Rodrigues Viana, Charles Marty, Jean-François Boucher and Pierre-Luc Dessureault wrote in an analysis published in The Conversation that pollution from preparing coffee was “just the tip of the iceberg.”

“Limiting your contribution to climate change requires an adapted diet, and coffee is no exception. Choosing a mode of coffee preparation that emits less GHGs (greenhouse gases) and moderating your consumption are part of the solution,” the researchers at the University of Quebec at Chicoutimi wrote.

You will own nothing. You will have nothing. We are taking everything. And you will be happy.

Who pays for this nonsense? They could attack nearly everything we do in the name of “climate change”.

From what I see at coffee shops, the greenies are consuming 90% of it.

That doesn’t matter

The left and woke businesses are like the tale of the scorpion and the frog.

Story: “A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: “I am sorry, but I couldn’t resist the urge. It’s in my nature.”

The left is like the scorpion, and woke businesses are like the poor frog.

The free market provides all the “moderation” of the coffee market that is required.

“...A study has revealed that caffeine, polyphenols, and other natural products found in coffee may help reduce the severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) among overweight people with type 2 diabetes (T2D)...”

This from: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4125226/posts

Oh, what to do, what to do???

You help people with fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes and destroy the world with (shudder) “Climate Change”...

Choosing a mode of coffee preparation that emits less GHGs (greenhouse gases)

So using my mocha pot on the gas stove is a bad thing?
