Global warming is threatening coffee crops in virtually every major coffee producing region of the world. Higher temperatures, drought and intense rainfall events, and more resilient pests and plant diseases—all associated with global warming—have contributed to dramatically reduced coffee supplies in recent years, threatening the livelihood of coffee growers around the world and playing a role in increasing coffee prices here at home.
Are we heading towards a world without coffee?
Help us deliver a strong message to decision makers that it's time to wake up and reduce global warming emissions by sending us your "mug shot" today!
It's easy! Simply take a photo of yourself with your coffee mug and your own personal message demanding global warming action and email it to climateaction@ucsusa.org, or upload your photo using this web form:
We'll compile all of your mug shots into a video that we'll deliver to the Obama administration demonstrating that global warming is already affecting our everyday lives and people are demanding action. And we'll post it on the UCS website so you can deliver it to the Obama administration as well!
Hurry! The first 50 people to send us their mug shot will receive a free Union of Concerned Scientists coffee mug.
The dwindling supply of coffee is but one example of the many ways global warming is already affecting our daily lives. Send us your mug shot today to help protect coffee and send a clear message to decision makers that we must reduce global warming emissions now.
