This is false. Despite the anecdotal tales told by The New Republic about specific farmers\u2019 respective plights, U.N. data clearly demonstrate a substantial growth in the production of each of the crops discussed over the past 35 years of global warming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the story, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/newrepublic.com\/post\/204400\/climate-change-holiday-ingredients-meal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Climate Change Is Coming for Your Favorite Holiday Foods<\/a>,\u201d New Republic intern Rachel Kahn writes, \u201cChocolate, vanilla, coffee, cinnamon: The ingredients for your favorite holiday foods are becoming increasingly harder to grow because of climate change.\u201d If true, that would be news to the world market for these foods, each of which have seen substantial production growth since 2000 and before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Climate Realism<\/em>&nbsp;has repeatedly refuted past media claims that climate change was causing a decline in coffee and cocoa production,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/climaterealism.com\/2025\/11\/the-independent-is-wrong-coffee-chocolate-and-wine-are-thriving\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/climaterealism.com\/2025\/05\/the-associated-press-is-wrong-coffee-prices-are-not-rising-due-to-climate-change\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/climaterealism.com\/2025\/02\/wrong-earth-com-cocoa-production-is-not-under-extreme-climate-pressure-its-improving\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/climaterealism.com\/2025\/04\/the-independent-misleads-about-rising-cocoa-prices-government-not-climate-is-responsible\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>, for a few examples, and so we won\u2019t spend further time on these thoroughly debunked claims, other than to point out,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fao.org\/faostat\/en\/#compare\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FAO data<\/a>&nbsp;show that since 1990:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cocoa production has grown by more than 157 percent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the Ivory Coast (C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire) cocoa bean production increased by more than a 194 percent (nearly doubling, and setting a new record in 2023);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In Ghana cocoa bean production expanded by just over 122 percent;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And in Nigeria cocoa bean production grew by almost 17 percent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As far as coffee goes, FAO data show that since 1990, global coffee production has increased by 82 percent, setting the new record for highest production in 2023, including substantial growth in major coffee producing countries like Brazil and Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The New Republic piece throws the spices vanilla and cinnamon into the mix for the holiday tastes supposedly threatened by climate change. Yet, just like with coffee and cocoa, the asserted decline does not bear up under scrutiny. Vanilla production has more than doubled since 1990, according to FAO data \u2013 with production increasing by about 135 percent. Cinnamon production expanded even more dramatically, with a production increase exceeding 289 percent.

Yet thankfully, and directly refuting The New Republic\u2019s assertion, it is impossible to tease out or discern a tangible threat to the continued availability of those treats in the readily available data or production trends. It is sad when, rather than an exploration of the facts, a false narrative drives the news cycle, but that\u2019s just what seemingly happened in this New Republic story, a fairy-tale only the pre-conversion Grinch could love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent story published by The New Republic claims that various foods, popular especially during the Christmas holiday season, are declining due to climate change, perhaps soon to disappear from store shelves entirely.
