Cherish the coffee in your hand. You never know when you'll lose it.

This is not my alarmist talk, it is what the United States Government said. They mentioned at an environmental conference last week that coffee is the most vulnerable cash crop under the influence of global warming. "Coffee is a crop that is extremely sensitive to temperature changes, and Greenhouse Effect caused by rising temperatures will put coffee-producing areas of the world in a very dangerous position." Said Gina McCarthy, an official with the environmental protection department. The current climate change has brought severe drought and unusually high rainfall to coffee cultivation, which eventually exacerbated the spread of coffee rust. What is more serious is that when the temperature gets higher, growers have to go to higher elevations to grow coffee crops, but the elevation of the world is also limited.

Research on the sharp decline in coffee production began several years ago. In 2012, a report spread widely and caused a great deal of discussion. It is because it mentions that the production area of Arabica coffee may plummet by at least 65% by 2080. The worst case is 100%. Arabica coffee beans are currently the most mainstream coffee beans in the world, and the plant carries 70% of the world's coffee production. In other words, coffee will become a real luxury by then.

In fact, climate change brings more than these changes to our daily diet. For example, there are reports that because of climate change, grasslands have plummeted and the cost of raising cattle has become higher, so the price of popular hot dogs has gone up quietly (and the price of high-end leather shoes has also gone up secretly). But on the other hand, fried chicken is getting cheaper and cheaper.

If you pay attention, fast food restaurants have been offering a variety of fried chicken promotional packages these days. It is said that this situation is more obvious in the United States, which can be called a fried chicken war. One of the obvious reasons for this is that poultry needs 10 times less water than cattle, so the chicken industry has benefited from the sharp decline in cattle brought about by Greenhouse Effect. According to a recent statistic, chicken production will have another bumper harvest in 2015 and will exceed 1 billion pounds for the first time in history. At the same time, wholesale prices will fall by 8%. Fast food such as Burger King is also nervous about this situation. Because the oversupply of chicken is likely to lead to a sharp drop in their profits. This kind of thing has happened before. For this reason, profits of Tyson Foods, one of the world's largest chicken suppliers, fell 21% in 2012.

However, if you happen to like chicken and don't drink coffee, you will probably have a particularly pleasant life in the next few years.
