Lake Street Dive released a song last year that touched on the impact of climate change on coffee, among other things. One of my favorite songs of the year, though it doesn't make me feel great.

> To the next generation, / Merry Christmas / You're working harder than ever now / And the coffee sucks / You know, Colombia and Kenya got too damn hot / And now you're making do with what you got

And the news are yet another proof that many of the climate change doom scenarios start from the assumption of a perfectly static world incapable of change or adaptation. This coffee species seems to taste even better than the one we use now (and yet the production with the current plant, far from decreasing because of climate change, has in fact grown 60% in the last 20 years).
