Coffee’s ‘contribution to climate change' is just the ‘tip of the iceberg,’ study says

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.

The study also found that using coffee pods to brew coffee contributed less to the carbon footprint than brewing coffee with a traditional filter.

So if both are done using electricity what is their point.

Researchers = Agenda Agents

Note the ‘university’ location. (University of Quebec at Chicoutimi)

The Prime Mistake of Canaduh, True-dolt, is a Quebecois (read: Frenchie from Quebec) and siphons SO MUCH TAXPAYER MONEY TO QUEBEC, for all kinds of benefits ONLY available in Quebec, AND useless research to keep the ‘elites’ in Quebec in gubmint money.

Basically, the West PAYS FOR QUEBEC TO REMAIN IN CANADUH!
We can’t seem to vote out the communist, WEF scum, so WE NEED TO GTFO of Canaduh! Unfortunately, we are bringing in MORE immigrants who will be beholden to True-dolt, so there is no way to GTFO of our ‘con’federation, that makes the West into serfs of Quebec and Ontario!

TUCK FRUDEAU!
LET’S GO JUSTIN!

I wonder if the makers of coffee pods paid for this study. 🤔

I’m betting these “researchers’” school days had a lot of wedgies, swirlies and purple nurples in them.

True.

A two pound bag of Costco coffee beans sits in my freezer. Every AM, I grind some to make my coffee. I had a Keurig for a while, but the damn machine broke. Much prefer to grind my own. The only downside is that apparently, Costco coffee beans are supplied by Star*ucks. Gotta jump on Costco about that one!

I think they should all just die and do their part to save the erf.

This is stupid of course, they don’t deserve the press but will get all they want anyway.

We must be reaching the point of maximum insanity.

Apropos of nothing, ever seen "A Bridge Too Far"?
Next step will be to condemn coffee consumption as white supremacy, because of the extensive use of minority labor south of what used to be our border.

If you understand liberals hate humans and want us to be miserable like them, you will understand why they oppose things like coffee and steak.
