Your morning cup of coffee contributes to climate change, says WEF 'expert'

Weather fanatics are now coming after your morning java.

At least that's what many feared as global elites rubbed elbows and enjoyed a nice dinner at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, while appearing to tell ordinary people to cut back on their coffee intake to save the planet .

Swiss banker Hubert Keller, a so-called “agenda contributor”, said at the event last week that the climate is being negatively affected by human consumption of coffee.

“The coffee we all drink emits 15 to 20 tons of CO2 per ton of coffee,” he said. “Every time we drink coffee, we're basically putting CO2 into the atmosphere.”

Now they come to drink your coffee.☕️

“And one of the reasons is because most of the coffee plantation or most of the coffee is produced through monoculture and monoculture is also affected by climate change… The quality of these natural assets is being deteriorating quite rapidly,” he said.

His comments came after other expressions of fear from Davos panelists such as a speaker calling for “ecocide” laws to protect nature.

These views are of course in line with what the WEF has done he called to “Mass shift to a plant-based diet” as another way to combat the effects of “unsustainable” farming practices.

In a blog from 2016 publication, the WEF declared: “Your morning coffee is destroying the planet.” The report raised the alarm about coffee consumption, especially in the area of ​​single-serve coffee cups and capsules.

Keller, a senior managing partner at an independent Swiss banking group, was not speaking on behalf of the WEF on the panel, and indeed the company he is a part of has promoted regenerative food production, using coffee as an example.

“We are focusing our attention on regenerative food production. Why? As 85% of the pressure on nature comes from our food systems, it is the development of regenerative food production that will unlock value in assets of nature,” he said. said. “It will increase the life and resilience of these assets. It will increase carbon sequestration. And it will create nature-positive commodities at a time when the world is putting a price on the environmental cost of production. Economic systems driven by the 'regenerative approach to nature can overcome current economic systems'.

But the left's climate obsession and the gathering of globalists in Davos only led to more criticism on social media where the threat to coffee drinkers was met with understandable passion.

Protecting coffee is the hill I'm ready to die on!

Who is funding these eco-fascists?

And Hubert will continue to drink coffee his entire life as he works to make it so scarce and expensive that you can't anymore.
