Coffee under threat!

[nickrr]

Apparently the plant from which most of our coffee comes (Coffea arabica) is particularly susceptible to changes in climate. According to the research below:

A study conducted by scientists at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in collaboration with scientists in Ethiopia, reports that climate change alone could lead to the extinction of wild Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) well before the end of this century.

Amazing how it survived far greater changes over millennia, but as soon as there's political capital and "scientific" salaries to be made from its putative extinction, it dies.

The only thing wrong with climate change scare stories is their complete lack of facts and obvious truth.

If only I had a penny for every time a climatologist said something "could" happen!
