If coffee goes, I’m done with this shithole existence.
We don’t get coffee, and Nazis are back!? Fuck this world…
Seriously. I had better die before this happens.
Good luck with that! Hopefully cancer. Cancer isn’t so bad, right?
Depends on the cancer
But, mostly, yes
It just means instead of Arabica type beans, we will have to choke down robusta, the basis of cheap industrial coffee.
Aparently you didn’t see the chart showing Vietnam’s robusta threat in this.
Man, I’ll honestly just stick to tea if it comes to that. The only good robusta drink I’ve ever had was some south Indian filter coffee (also kalled filter kaapi). It’s traditionally a mix of robusta and chicory, but you can make it with Arabica if you want. The flavor profile is kinda similar to that of a Mokapot brew.
But other than that, I vastly prefer a cup of first flush Darjeeling tea.
No one gonna miss you. Bye Felicia.
Such a weird response.
Yea? Is it so much better than if coffee leaves I’m going to leave this shit hole existence? Worse?
Please educate us all in your quantifications and qualifications.
Equally weird response.
Anyway, may I suggest going outside a bit?
So many downvotes on a 5/7 shitpost comment, smh.
They’ll figure out vertical farming for coffee quickly enough. It probably means coffee will become more expensive. Things becoming a lot more expensive is basically what adapting to climate change means.
Hey, there’s still that mushroom-based coffee substitute!
I’m sorry for making light of a serious situation. I would also rather die than drink that cursed substance.
The average person will only realize that something is really changing when they have to drastically change their consumption habits, and it will be too late to something about it
Why?
Why they will only realize when their consumption is affected, or why it will be too late?
Jfc everything is becoming a luxury…
Of course, to the oligarchs this is the end game. I equate them to the top tier raiding gears in WoW back in the day. They didn’t want people getting purples so easily because it was prestige only they had it. They argued and bickered vehemently to prevent the average prole from being able to get it. Some people need to feel superior to others because they’re often bankrupt of personality.
I feel like the scene in v for vendetta when she eats toast with real butter and was shocked. That’s basically our future.
Phillip k dick envisioned a world were everything was fake and only the very wealthy could afford real.
WE NEED NEPTUNIAN ICE STAT
Solving the problem once and for all.
Wouldn’t it just move more north or am I thinking too simplistic?
It’s a bit too simplistic; coffee doesn’t tolerate the overnight lows that you get outside the tropics and only grows between 25°N to 30°S. You could in theory grow it indoors with artificial lighting like marijuana, but that’s really expensive.
I bet a time will come when it will be worth it, like heated greenhouse tomatoes.
I have one coffee tree in my living room. If I take it outside in the summer I might harverst enough for two large cups in a single year.
Roasting beans on a kitchen oven sucks and basicly any brand in stores tastes better (probably because of my shitty roasting).
It takes years and years to establish a reliable farm. Climate change is happening faster and more unpredictably.
Also, it’s not just temperature/latitude that plants rely on, it’s soil, elevation, humidity, and sunlight. Those are really hard to change.
On top of the temperature thing silence mentioned, moving coffee north would push other crops further north and cause a chain of issues
These bastards are going to take coffee from us.
Wouldn’t this also mean that parts of the world that were previously too cold to grow the beans are now appropriate?
The problem is that those areas are in the subtropical dry zone, where water constraints mean we won’t see sustainable large-scale agriculture.
Let them drink tea.
Very possibly the only alternative.
nope we need to get ice from neptune to fix this now it’s gone too far
Not the right type of soil is my understanding.
Fuck
Time to switch back to cocaine beverages such as original Coca-Cola
Prop hip hop did a really good expose on this on the podcast “it could happen here”
