Michelle Walschot on 05 Sep 12Coffee, a product consumed by so many people, but starbucks is now seeing climate change as a big threat to their industry. As climate change intensifies and the world's temperature is slowly but surely increasing in certain regions, it is feared that by 2050 in Ghana and the Ivory Coast it will be to hot for coffee to grow. Specifically the Arabica coffe bean which is one of the most important beans in the industry. There is now a lot of pressure on the government to act quickly and efficiently on climate change before it is too late. However coffee harvesters an farmers are already seeing severe changes in climate such as hurricanes and resistant bugs all causing for less produce.
