I’m going to reserve judgment concerning the opinion of Starbucks’ director of sustainability until I hear back from the climatologists at Dunkin’ Donuts and Tim Hortons, but it would appear that the global warming panic-inducer du jour is “climate change will mean no more coffee.”
Now will you willingly hand over control of America’s wealth to Al Gore & company? Me neither.
From CBS News:
- Millions of people enjoy a cup of coffee first thing in the morning, but a group of scientists says that daily ritual could be on its way to extinction.
-
- The driving force behind the new information is coffee giant Starbucks, reports “Early Show” contributor Taryn Winter Brill. One of its lead scientists says global warming is threatening the world’s coffee supply — and that news isn’t being well-received by coffee drinkers around the world.
-
- On Friday, the director of sustainability for Starbucks, Jim Hanna, said climate change is threatening the world’s coffee supply, telling the Guardian newspaper, “What we are really seeing as a company as we look 10, 20, 30 years down the road — if conditions continue as they are — is a potentially significant risk to our supply chain, which is the Arabica coffee bean.”
Considering what Starbucks charges, I thought there already was a coffee shortage.
Global warming alarmists are hoping public reaction to the above story will be similar to the one below, but it might backfire and have some people firing up the gas-powered leaf blowers.
Popout At least global warming won’t affect beer. Whew! What? Oh jeez, where can I buy some carbon credits? |
