Is Coffee In Danger Of Extinction?

This is a very good article that talks about how Coffee is being put in the endangered list by climate change.  It has become so serious that even the big corporation Starbucks chief has been pushing the Obama administration over concerns about the world coffee supply being threatened by climate change. Jim Hanna told the news agency that Starbuck’s coffee farmers are already seeing the effects of climate change, with severe hurricanes and bugs that are resistant to pesticides.  The report said Starbucks is part of a business coalition that has been trying to push Congress and the Obama administration to act on climate change, but has seen little success. Although the big problems with the coffe will take about 20 more years to become really serious, the big company wants to prevent those problems by starting a campain now.
