Well, well, well. "Climate Change" or as we like to call it, bull$h!t, strikes again!
More FUD. Could it be a well planned campaign to put pressure on coffee prices to rise? Again?
Personally, I don't care. Coffee is a luxury item. I can live without it. And besides, in 10-20 years when the study says this extinction will reach its apex, I'll be dead.

The important thing to remember is that coffee requires a forest habitat for its survival, Indeed. I mean, they've tried to have coffee plantations and grow this stuff as a real agricultural enterprise, but you can't do it. Nope. You have to wander through the forest looking for stray coffee plants. It's the only way to get the beans. [/s]

Or... it could not.
I guess cultivating it on purpose didn’t cross their minds?

Read the lede and knew that “climate change” would appear.
Bingo.
It’s the first of N “you are something you like will due due to climate change” stories that’ll appear today, where N is a large number.
Journalists.
You know, the folks who failed fifth grade science for poets.

Plus, they are talking about wild coffee plants, not cultivated coffee. To link wild coffee to my morning cup is disingenuous.

Start a new coffee brand, totally focused on these at risk varieties, and they won't be facing extinction very long. Called it ‘Paleo Coffee’ etc., offer an ‘ancient and at risk coffee of the week’ to consumers to try, organically farm these coffees, and offer consumers kits which allow them to grow one or more of these at risk coffee plants at home in pots, and they will become the most prolific coffee plants in the world. Just sayin..

Coffee originally came from Africa. It’s now grown in tropical areas all over the world. The kind people drink has no more chance of going extinct than people are. Just another ramped up scare tactic for the CO2 scam.

“out of 124 types of wild coffee, 75 are at risk of extinction”
And how much of the coffee drinking population is drinking coffee made from these “wild” species of coffee beans? Very little. So just what is it that coffee lovers have to worry about? Nothing.

All species, plant or animal, are at risk from something. It’s the way nature works.
The only real way to protect a species is to put it in an environment where it isn’t threatened.
Then it will evolve into something that has no defensive properties and is dependent on its artificial environment for survival.
Anyone frightened by this line of thought should go their safe space now.

The more varieties there are, the less likely it is that one disease could wipe them out.
Also, we don't want wild plant species going extinct before we've had a chance to check them for medicinal properties.

Places where wild coffee grows is being used to grow proceeded coffee for starbucks and all the other coffee producers who have a name and $$ to spend.
I think Starbucks is causing the problem....yeah, let’s get the climate change wack jobs to blame Starbucks. It is always fun to see libs attack libs.
