With global warming, some commonly used foods, including coffee, could become rare commodities. This is denounced by the European Environment Agency, which says that "climate change is a current phenomenon that, through rising temperatures and changes in rainfall regimes would lead to more frequent and intense extreme weather events, with negative impacts on nature, human health, the economy and even food."
Also affected by rising temperatures would be global cocoa and coffee production, the latter affected by drought and a terrible fungal infection in both Brazil and Africa.
"Even net of disease and drought, global warming alone, increasing evaporation in tropical areas will significantly reduce plant yields."
