The New York Post used teen climate alarmist Greta Thunberg as the photo to accompany its story, but Thunberg really has nothing to do with it. It’s simply another climate change “study” that predicts that as the climate changes, coffee growers will either have to abandon their land or move to cooler climates where the quality will suffer.
Besides, we doubt coffee prices would even be on Thunberg’s radar when she’s running around talking about mass extinction within years.

The story, originally printed in the U.K. Sun, warns:
By 2050, up to half the land currently used globally to grow coffee could become unusable for this purpose, experts predict.
The environmental cost of this could be dire, with increased deforestation likely in order to clear new areas for coffee farms.
Experts fear the quality of coffee could be diminished as farmers turn to new varieties, and that lower production volumes could cause prices to increase.
“Experts predict.”
Coffee prices are now so low that some farmers are abandoning their crop. Clear evidence that….wait, what? https://t.co/AL3pBRmmRz

More fake “science” falling prices from over production is the reason farmers are changing crops. Coffee grows in place other than Peru

It’s a luxury item now, it’s not a necessity to live.

No coffee for peasants. The finer things are meant for your betters. Eat your bugs and be quiet.

Greta having her 15 minutes of fame is a "luxury item" given to her by idiots who like traumatizing children.

There’s no point in going to school; we’re all doomed.
She is a good communist. Comrades, we must go our part for the green revolution.
