Funny, joj!

One of your favorite sources is using one of their(and most of the media's) favorite reasons to blame this on:

Why Coffee Prices Are Soaring (Again)

Wholesale coffee prices are trading near a 50-year high because of shortages related to extreme weather and increased global demand.

Dec 28, 2024 In recent years, repeated droughts and flooding have strained the global supply of coffee, frequently causing prices to soar, as climate change has done for other staples

+++++++++++++++++

The article is pay walled but no need to read it to understand the point. They continue to blame all extreme natural variation of weather that is expected from meteorology/climate 101 on climate change. Even conditions that are not as bad as the past, are now unprecedented and caused by climate change.

At times like this, not one time have I ever read about this indisputable fact, based on the law of photosynthesis that contributes much more of a UNIVERSAL positive on everything that grows in the ground than every negative combined from the speculated impact of a fake climate crisis.

Let's find out specifically how coffee responds to the elevated, entirely beneficial CO2 in the air using scientific data at the site with more scientific plant studies listed than any other site in the world.

Here's how to access the empirical evidence/data from the site that has more of it than any other. Please go to this link:

http://www.co2science.org/data/data.php

Go to plant growth data base:

http://www.co2science.org/data/plant_growth/plantgrowth.php

Go to plant dry weight(biomass):

http://www.co2science.org/data/plant_growth/dry/dry_subject.php

Pick the name of a plant, any plant and go to it based on its starting letter. Let's pick coffee. Go to the letter C: http://www.co2science.org/data/plant_growth/dry/dry_subject_c.php

++++++++++++++

Then scroll down until you see coffee. This is what you get:

1. The first number is the number of studies.

2. Response in growth from increasing beneficial CO2 by 300 ppm.

3. Standard error

As it turns out, coffee plants respond more robustly to increasing CO2 than most plants because they are so woody and  more like trees than they are crops that get planted every year for 1 short growing season. Coffee plants/trees live for decades. Coffee plants/trees grow and accumulate carbon year round.

What's most interesting of all is that coffee and ALL plants do best from elevated CO2 levels during droughts and heat compared to lower CO2 levels.

The increase in CO2 increases water efficiency by reducing the need for the plants to open their stomata on the underside of leaves as wide(stomata open to get the 100% beneficial CO2), which in turn reduces water loss from roots from transpiration. 


Drought on Plant Physiology, Soil Carbon and Soil Enzyme Activities

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1002016017604582

These results suggested that drought stress had significant negative impacts on plant physiology, soil carbon, and soil enzyme activities, whereas elevated CO2 and plant physiological positive feedbacks indirectly ameliorated these impacts.

Now, lets read some typical bs from a really smart scientist thats REALLY biased and says dumb things about climate and plants and very sadly, is the source for JUNK science which is stealing people's intelligence.


Ask MIT Climate

Don't plants do better in environments with very high CO2?

So plants don't grow as well with elevated CO2 in an open air environment?

I would call the entire planet earth as open air as it gets!!!

He also claims that global droughts are deepening from climate change which is hurting plants.

Not using the authentic data!!!

Draw a straight horizontal line across the 2nd graph to see that global drought actually PEAKED IN THE 1980s!

This contradicts the titles of the graphics below that are meant to MISLEAD us.

None of the droughts we've experienced during our life times come close to this one below. A big part of this world wide, catastrophic famine that lasted for years was caused by extremely LOW atmospheric CO2 levels(plants/crops were at near CO2 starvation) and global COOLING.

Having the same global temperature and CO2 levels today ( 130 ppm less than it is now) would cause food production to plunge 25%. 

If you would also take away the synthetic fertilizer that is manufactured using fossil fuels, food production would drop almost 70%.

Dishonest people, especially scientists and politicians continue to use THAT climate as the optimal one and THIS climate as a crisis. Up is down and down is up.

This is the climate OPTIMUM for life on the planet by every authentic definition! Most life would prefer a bit more warming and up to double the current atmospheric level!

This article discusses the potential impact of Trump's tariffs in Columbia, which is something that I would have never thought of. 

They also do what all the other MSM sources do. If weather of any kind is a negative factor, they use the blanket explanation that it's from CLIMATE CHANGE, when the polar opposite is the case.

Here's another reminder of the golden rule defining this realm:

+++++++++++++++++++++++

It really boils down to this, once again(Cliff Mass can be counted on as an elite source for using objective, authentic science)

https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2016/03/the-golden-rule-of-climate-extremes.html

The GoldenRule

 Considering the substantial confusion in the media about this critical issue, let me provide the GOLDENRULE OF CLIMATE EXTREMES. Here it is:

The more extreme a climate or weather record is, the greater the contribution of natural variability.

Or to put it a different way, the larger or more unusual an extreme, the higher proportion of the extreme is due to natural variability.   

++++++++++++++++++

Here's a perfect example of why they get it so wrong using the global drought graph from above. Please tell me where on this graph below, where the climate change droughts are and where the natural droughts are since the year 2000? Impossible because the pattern is THE EXACT SAME!  The MSM, in 2025 tells us that EVERY drought is now caused by climate change to the point that they use the terms interchangeably.

Global cooling and LOW CO2 levels are what cause widespread, extremely long lasting droughts with catastrophic global and huge regional famines!

Why Coffee Prices Are Soaring (Again)

Wholesale coffee prices are trading near a 50-year high because of shortages related to extreme weather and increased global demand.

Repeated droughts and flooding

  • In recent years, repeated droughts and flooding have strained the global supply of coffee, frequently causing prices to soar, as climate change has done for other staples, like cocoa, olive oil and orange juice.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Let's obliterate that false statement:

1. The more extreme the weather, the more it was caused by natural variation and less from climate change.........see the Golden Rule above.

2. Extreme weather is not even the main cause!

a. Orange juice: Citrus Greening by a Mt. Everest sized margin is the reason and WELL KNOWN by everybody in the industry for over a decade. They manufactured climate change as the reason even though climate change and the increase in beneficial CO2 is helping to INCREASE production.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/citrus-greening-will-ruin-morning-oj-no-matter-how-you-slice-it-8380879/

b. Cocoa: Again, extreme weather is caused by natural variation. And again, a pathogen/disease is reducing yields big time in a key production area.

The REAL reason! Not weather or climate change.

Cacao swollen shoot virus

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cacao_swollen_shoot_virus


  • Cacao swollen shoot virus (CSSV) is a plant pathogenic virus of the family Caulimoviridae that primarily infects cacao trees.  It decreases cacao yield within the first year of infection, and usually kills the tree within a few years.  Symptoms vary by strain, but leaf discoloration, stem/root swelling, and die-back generally occur.  The virus is transmitted from tree to tree by mealybug vectors.  It was first discovered in Ghana in 1936, and is currently endemic in Togo, Ghana and Nigeria.[1]  Over 200 million trees have already been claimed by this disease, which has prompted Ghana to launch the most ambitious and costly eradication effort of any country in the world against a viral plant disease.[1]

15 day anomalies in South America from the European Ensemble model. Especially bullish for coffee!

                                    

The rainy season for Minas Gerais and coffee-land is usually starting to taper off to half the December amounts(wettest) in February but it doesn't shut down completely until April in many years.

This is unusually early.  4.8 inches is average rainfall in February. The forecast is for 0.00!

The last 90 days are usually a very wet period for this part of Central Brazil:


This was how much LESS THAN average rain fell for 90 days:


The last 30 days have been especially dry:

This was the % of average for those 30 days:

The only thing here, tic is that the weather news is the most bullish possible. There can’t be less than 0.00 rain.

What often happens at major tops is that we see a buying exhaustion at some point that happens when increasing bullish news is no longer able to bring in fresh buying because everybody that wanted to buy on weather or whatever. has already bought and NO AMOUNT of new bullish news can bring in fresh buying.

The action today suggests that potential but the extreme volatility at historic tops is insane.

The other thing is that prices this insanely high will cause a reduction in demand.

How much additional supply will be lost from an additional month of dry weather cause?

It might not even be greater than the demand lost at these prices. These fundamentals will only be known at a much later date and the market is trading speculation, emotion and other factors.

Emotions include panic buying by shorts crying uncle, or commercials needing to obtain supplies.
