It always one thing or another that they "have" to jack the price up. It's the way of the world. If we want it or think we have to have it, then we will pay the price. We won't like it, be we'll do it!!! And they know it!

I went to the grocery store yesterday and the prices are going up on all kinds of stuff.

Desalination may probably be the only answer for California's crisis.

The climate has been changing all my 74 years and I don't look for it to change any time soon, at least in the years I have left. Might as well blame it on something when no factual reason(s)can be found, but facts at times can be created, can't they ?????

Keep kicking that can down the road.

As far as climate change and coffee, climate change in Ethiopia can actually cause an increase in production of the Arabica beans and a decrease in deforestation since coffee production can be more advantageous rather than logging or other agriculture. Study done by the Stockholm University supports this, as reported in 2013.

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.

LOL I drink all three of those things.

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.

It was also interesting that according to the climate change "science" projections - CA should be having more rain, not less - and certainly not a drought.

"In fact, the most recent computer projections suggest that as the world warms, California should get wetter, not drier, in the winter, when the state gets the bulk of its precipitation. That has prompted some of the leading experts to suggest that climate change most likely had little role in causing the drought."

I mostly gave up coffee maybe 7 or 8 months ago (I will have the very occasional cup on a Saturday or Sunday morning) and I NEVER EVER in my wildest dreams thought I could do it.

There are many things we think we can't live without that we can.

I don't deny I could live without coffee. The problem arises that nobody around me could live without me having my coffee.
