In fact, CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s10584-015-1422-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">enrichment studies<\/a>&nbsp;in Latin America show that elevated CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;increased photosynthesis by 40%, and increased the efficiency plants\u2019 water use by approximately 60%. Higher CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;eventually caused a 7-14% increase in plant height and a 12-14% increase in yield. Another study&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ars.usda.gov\/arsuserfiles\/5818\/31-2020%20-%20Vega%20et%20al%20-%20Early%20growth%20phase%20and%20caffeine%20content%20-%20Scientific%20Reports.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">showed<\/a>&nbsp;that there were significant increases in all leaf area and biomass markers in response to increased CO<sub>2<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Research and production data both indicate that we are already be reaping the rewards of increased productivity rates in arabica, robusta, and other coffee varieties thanks to the recent rise in atmospheric CO<sub>2<\/sub>. This reality is reflected in the plantations across the globe. Production in South America and Southeast Asia&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ourworldindata.org\/grapher\/coffee-yields?tab=chart&amp;country=BRA~ETH~IND~KEN~South-eastern+Asia+%28FAO%29~TZA~UGA~VNM~Africa+%28FAO%29~South+America+%28FAO%29~COL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have shown increases in yield<\/a>&nbsp;during the past two decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As far as flavor profile goes, coffee\u2019s taste is subjective. But, it is hard to explain why, if coffee taste worse than before, that daily coffee consumption recently reached a 20 year high, with consumption in the U.S. surging more than 40 percent since 2004 alone. And there are more varieties, flavors, and styles of coffee on the market now than at any time in history. Coffee drinkers\u2019 choices are no longer only black or with cream and sugar, but rather range from Ethiopian cold brew, to Kona Chocolate Macadamia Nut, to caramel, mocha latte, etc. The geographic sources, flavors, and styles of coffee are virtually endless at this stage, suggesting coffee is better tasting and more attractive to beverage enthusiasts now than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Climate Central study has been around for a few of weeks, meaning it was hardly breaking news. WTAE\u2019s audience would have been better served by the outlet and Szwed had they taken the time to see if its research had been vetted by others and its claims checked out. Had they done so they could have easily found&nbsp;<em>Climate Realism<\/em>\u2019s previous post rebutting Climate Central\u2019s claims and, by doing so, saved themselves the embarrassment of reporting as fact the false claims about coffee\u2019s decline due to climate change. After a simple fact check, WTAE could have simply ignored the story entirely or with a little investigative journalistic effort, exposed Climate Central\u2019s study for the inaccurate, politically motivated work it is. That would have been a worthy journalistic endeavor \u2013 bringing truth, not climate alarm, to their audience, especially those that enjoy coffee with their news.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WTAE ABC, Pittsburgh, published a story titled, \u201cClimate change affecting global coffee production, study finds.\u201d The study is false, perpetrated by a climate activist group called Climate Central, and uncritically echoed by WTAE meteorologist Jill Szwed.
