Coffee could be extinct by 2080 due to climate change destroying areas suitable for growing beans
It is difficult to imagine that this could happen !!! Though will create substitutes, but it still tastes of the coffee there is no substitute.
Coffee could become extinct if global warming continues on its current trajectory, according to a report by The Climate Institute.
By 2050, researchers said, the amount of suitable coffee farmland is expected to have halved due to rising temperatures, pests and fungi.
Wild coffee is expected to be wiped from the face of the planet by the year 2080.
The disappearance of the coffee plant would have a profound impact on the 120 million people worldwide whose livelihoods depend its beans – many of whom live in the world’s poorest nations.
For several of the 70 countries in the world which produce coffee, the industry is central to their economy. More than half (59 per cent) of earnings from exports in Burundi are from the product, while the beans make up a third (33 per cent) of Ethiopia’s exports and 17 per cent of Nicaragua's.
The majority of the coffee farmers are smallholders, meaning they are particularly vulnerable to a volatile market.
Coffee-drinkers are also expected to see flavour and aroma seriously impacted – alongside soaring prices for the ever-scarcer beans.
Oh god! I had never considered the possible effects of global climate change on coffee. I had been all for cheap airable land opening up in the great frozen north.
But wow! Not at the expense of my coffee!
I totally agree on this matter, this is a huge problem:
"coffee farmland is expected to have halved due to rising temperatures, pests and fungi."
I am a huge coffee drinker, that each morning makes his coup of coffee hot and with no sugar or milk because: I want to feel the flavor and aroma of coffee. When the flavor and aroma hits my senses I immediately wake up and face my daily challenges.
On a second note even that what you wrote is true there are some other means to have cultivate coffee beans.
Unfortunatly this climate changes and pest control will hurt the most the cultivators who are struggling to maintain their business.
We say again that it is the poor countries
Funny thing...

It's Climate change propaganda. Climate always changes and there is no need to worry.
