We often wonder what kind of state the planet will be left in when our children come along, but a world without coffee? That seems almost too terrifying to even begin contemplating.
But, according to the Australian Climate Institute, this cold, dark idea may be a reality that’s going to be faced sooner rather than later. Like, 2080 soon.
The reason for all this? Climate change.
Due to rising temperatures and growing levels of pests and fungi in coffee-growing parts of the world, the institute predicts that land currently used to grow our much-loved coffee beans is fast becoming unusable, with much likely to be rendered unsuitable by as early as 2050.
