Among its top search results today for “climate change,†Google News is promoting an article claiming climate change is decimating coffee crops. The claim is ridiculous, as global coffee production is enjoying substantial long-term growth and set a new record in 2019.
The article promoted by Google News is published by an obscure website called Fast Company. The article is titled, “How to save coffee from climate change.†The article asserts, “Increasing temperatures are making coffee harder to grow and less tasty.†The article, not surprisingly, cites no real-world data to support its claim. Of course, no real-world data are available to support the claim, as coffee production consistently sets new records.
The U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization reports coffee production nearly doubled between 1994 and 2018, with global production growing from 5.7 million tons in 1994 to 10.3 million tons in 2018.
