  • I see this said about the 90s all the time but really this is not true. In the 90s there was (not an exhaustive list)

    • First Gulf War
    • Yugoslavia war
    • Rwandan Genocide
    • Oklahoma City Bombing
    • Columbine Massacre
    • Los Angeles Riots
    • The Fall Of USSR (while on one hand a good thing it also cause so much economic decline, hunger, and excess mortality in the millions to many former bloc countries)
    • Somalian War
    • US 1990 recession
    • 1997 Asian Financial crisis
    • Dot com bubble
    • Hurricane Andrew
    • 1999 İzmit earthquake

    It’s very common when asking any person what was the best period of time for the world for their response to be a period of time their formative years were.

    The reality is history is full of horrid horrid things and nostalgia is a follie that’ll trick your mind.

    Climate change brings unpredictability to growing conditions so even if you had to move where you grow it, it won’t necessarily mean it’ll grow well. Plus different locations can bring on new diseases for the (coffee has its fair share of diseases to combat with) and so new varitals would need to be selected which is no simple task.

    As the article points out, coffee is notorious for being fussy when growing it.
