The price of almonds is predicted to skyrocket due to the drought in CA. Same with coffee. The drought in Brazil has devastated the coffee bean crop. Even more bad news for coffee lovers, global climate change could put coffee beans in the extinct category. Hope the beans last as long as I do. I could not fathom morning without coffee

I will give up my diet cokes in order to pay any price for my DH to have his morning coffee.....oh, what a horrible sight that would be. LOL

Oh no! I just couldn't part with my coffee in the mornings. I guess I'll have to drink hot chocolate or hot tea if it comes down to that.

Our drought is very, very, serious. Not just almonds but everything else that is grown here. California/US feeds a lot of the world, not just our nation. Many will have hardships.

I agree with this. Which is why it was interesting to me a short while back when there was a thread about drought, and some posters believed that Cali "squawks" too much about its drought.

Well they must not have seen the news or all the pictures coming from there showing the parched, crumbling ground. It's horrible.

I don't think there'll be a shortage of coffee since it's also grown in Mexico, Africa, Asia & middle-eastern countries.

It is so refreshing to have someone say ""global climate change"" and not be pounced on.
