Now a coffee ban? The WEF is eyeing coffee ...
American Thinker ^ | 18 May, 2024 | Eric Utter

Roughly 75% of Americans drink coffee every day.

That won’t be the case for long, apparently, if the elites at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, have their way.

Did anyone notice what they were talking about back in January during the 2024 World Economic Forum's Davos get-together?

During a recent WEF panel discussion, a reporter for Moneywise, in an item posted on Yahoo! Finance, reported that one speaker, some banker named Hubert Keller, remarked, “The coffee that we all drink emits between 15 and 20 tons of CO2 per ton of coffee.” Ominously, he added, “so we should all know that.”

Keller also noted, “Every time we drink coffee, we are basically putting CO2 into the atmosphere.”

What’s more, the production of coffee additives such as sugar and milk also puts large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere.

While Keller didn’t overtly try to convince people to reduce or eschew their consumption of black gold, he must’ve had a reason for raising the topic.

In the aftermath of the pandemic, I now know that rulers and elites can, sadly, make regular folks believe -- and do -- just about anything.

They can tell them their job isn’t crucial. They can tell them they can’t go to the gym -- and can’t, in fact, leave their homes. They can tell them they can’t go to a loved one’s wedding or a family member’s funeral.

And they will be obeyed. In the future, the elites might be able to coerce folks into owning nothing -- and being happy about that fact. They might even be able to convince people to “eat ze bugs.”

But telling people to give up coffee will be a deal breaker, a bridge too far.

Trees and vegetation need CO2 to survive. They put out oxygen so we can survive.

I have been hearing these sorts of copes for 30+ years, and it has been wrong every time.

““Every time we drink coffee, we are basically putting CO2 into the atmosphere.””

So ... every time we exhale we are basically putting CO2 into the atmosphere.

The absolute number one health threat today is Leftism. They should outlaw that.

Yes, and these idiots are far far too stupid to know that.

This guy Keller, he emits CO2 and serves no useful purpose. One would expect that, for good of Gaia, he would off himself to show his commitment to the cause and set an example for other useless (ie, harmful) folks who believe they are elites.

CO2 is not a pollutant. Until these a-holes get that, we’re screwed.

Pay attention, WEF. Your ideas are making Juan Valdez angry. You wouldn’t like Juan Valdez when he’s angry.

A lot more than your coffee. Maybe if these old rich dudes in Davos would just off themselves, we wouldn’t have to worry so much.
