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.

Thay also wanted to ban home vegetable gardening, but I don’t think that got far.
And how much CO2 do the coffee trees remove from the atmosphere during the growing of that ton of coffee? You conveniently fail to mention that, Herr Keller.
You also commit the logical fallacy of begging the question of whether CO2 is in fact harmful.
They know it.
Screw these WEF busy-bodies.
Trees and vegetation need CO2 to survive. They put out oxygen so we can survive.
Oh, come now! You’re not going to try to inject science into the discussion, are you?
;)
I think Hubert got endless teasing and bullying in grade school because of his name and now he's determined to get back a the world.
Uh, Hubert, name ONE thing that does NOT "basically put CO2 into the atmosphere." You cannot do it. Anything with an energy input in manufacture (which is everything you own) puts CO2 out.
Who cares? It's #999,999 on my list of "a million bad things in life."
Living puts CO2 in the air. The only solution: Kill Yourself!
According to somebody who heard it from somebody.
Never accept the premise.
They will have to pry my coffee cup out of my cold, dead hand
Which I’m sure they’re quite willing to do.
just sit in the corner
and try not to breathe
too much
to save the erf

Excellent question!
(Not that CO2 is harmful in the first place, as you noted.)
My house plants eat up more CO2 than that.
If you ban coffee anger will percolate.
These people have NO authority over anyone. The only solution is to drop a neutron bomb on Geneva. Sorry.
The world needs MORE CO2, not less.
These jackasses gave no authority over us. They’re just a bunch of narcissistic psychos who like to thump their chests and dream up ways of inflicting misery on the general population.
Up yours, WEF. You’ll get my coffee when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. And I’ll be in Heaven then, where I seriously doubt I’ll ever see any of you.
They might get the coffee cup. But I will be damned if they get the gun hand.
“You’re talkin’ war here.”
The potential violence is unimaginable, incalculable, and terrifying to even think about. Nuclear War just met its match.
