Who’s Up For Synthetic Coffee Due To Global Boiling?

There are some actual legitimate reasons why coffee is in shortage: including ‘climate change’ is just cult business

Why You May Soon Be Drinking Synthetic Coffee

Your typical morning cup of coffee is a social and environmental disaster—but you’ll soon have the option to start sipping something less harmful: synthetic coffee.

Worldwide, people consume two billion cups of coffee a day. Given that the average Arabica tree produces only one to two pounds of coffee a year, that means every two-cup-a-day coffee drinker requires continuous production from around 20 coffee trees.

The intense demand for coffee has driven mass deforestation, poverty wages for farmers who see little of the rising prices for their commodity, and substantial carbon emissions due to both production and long supply chains. Research suggests that around half of the land best suited to growing coffee will become unsuitable for that purpose by 2050, thanks to climate change. In Brazil, that figure reaches 88%.

Is deforestation occurring in coffee producing areas? Certainty, environmental degradation is a concern. And the ever increasing usage by more and more humans, who have to always seem to have some type of coffee drink around all day these days. As for climate doom, well, they’re talking about 2050. Put away the crystal ball, guys.

For all of these reasons, at least a half-dozen companies are using biotechnology and food science to replace the coffee in your cup with something that lacks all that baggage, and isn’t nearly as vulnerable to climate change. This pseudo-coffee can be made from a variety of ingredients, including chickpeas and “upcycled” agricultural waste like date pits. Other approaches use lab-grown cells from actual coffee plants. Companies like Voyage Foods, Minus Coffee, Atomo, Prefer, Stem and Northern Wonder have all either begun selling, or are working on, so-called beanless coffee alternatives.

Well, if climate cultists want it, have at it. I typically have one cup of decaf a day (I don’t need caffeine, and I use one of those electronic heating mugs, so, I’m good on keeping that one cup hot), so, I’m not concerned. This is all just more fearmongering to get people to comply with the dictates of the cult.
