The greenie left is coming for your coffee<\/a><\/p>\n It wasn’t enough that the greenie left came for our light bulbs, our flush toilets, our guns, our plastic straws, our gas stoves, or our hamburgers.<\/p>\n Now they’re coming for our coffee.<\/p>\n According to the\u00a0New York Post<\/a>:<\/p>\n Canadian researchers\u00a0analyzed coffee\u2019s\u00a0\u201ccontribution to climate change\u201d in a piece published in early January and suggested people moderate their consumption of the popular drink as a part of the solution.<\/p>\n Researchers Luciano Rodrigues Viana, Charles Marty, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Boucher and Pierre-Luc Dessureault wrote in an analysis published in The Conversation that pollution from preparing coffee was \u201cjust the tip of the iceberg.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLimiting your contribution to climate change requires an adapted diet, and coffee is no exception. Choosing a mode of coffee preparation that emits less GHGs (greenhouse gases) and moderating your consumption are part of the solution,\u201d the researchers at the University of Quebec at Chicoutimi wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n They even had recommendations about what kinds of coffee to drink, and no, it’s not that nice fancy cup of Starbucks cappuccino you’re enjoying, let alone that hearty cup of Dunkin’ Donuts brewed coffee you like to have in your hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n It’s time for instant coffee:<\/p>\n They found that instant coffee was the most environmentally sound.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n As for the others:<\/p>\n \u201cOur analysis clearly showed that traditional filter coffee has the highest carbon footprint, mainly because a greater quantity of coffee powder is used to produce the amount of coffee. This process also consumes more electricity to heat the water and keep it warm,\u201d the researchers wrote.<\/p>\n The researchers compared brewing with coffee pods, brewing coffee the traditional way in a coffee maker, brewing coffee with a French press and using instant coffee.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Leave it up to these guys to recommend coffee from pods, pellets and space crystals, the least organic, least natural, forms of the morning brew.<\/p>\n What they want, of course, is to take away more stuff from us, the better to control us. It wasn’t enough to target our gas-powered cars and tell us to take the bus. It wasn’t enough to take away our electricity and natural gas in the name of ‘going green’ and tell\u00a0consumers\u00a0to freeze in winter. It wasn’t enough to howl for an end to jet travel while greenie leftists bought carbon indulgences and continued to jet about with\u00a0their private planes. It wasn’t enough to take away our\u00a0plastic bags, to ensure that we only use\u00a0unsanitary bacteria-filled cloth recycle bags. It wasn’t enough to take away our meat and tell us to eat bugs.<\/p>\n All these are things they are — no, really —\u00a0trying to take away. In some cases, they have succeeded at such\u00a0schemes, too, all for a phony and chimerical quest to stop global warming, which somehow never happens. Oftentimes, they have trashed economies of third-world countries that rely on production of raw materials and agricultural production, but not a problem for them. You can bet\u00a0this coffee nonsense is going to worm its way into leftist discourse the same way every other bad idea has among the greenie-dictator set. They just can’t stop grabbing for power.<\/p>\n Now coffee is to become a luxury item in their narrative,\u00a0to be\u00a0consumed only by the elites. As for the rest of us, have a cup of instant …\u00a0just like\u00a0they do in prisons.<\/p>\n It’s amazing stuff, given that the study doesn’t tell us a thing about how much of the planet\u00a0it would save, or why anyone would want to do it at all under zero-coffee terms. Making coffee a luxury item for the elites is nothing but another power grab. As for most of us,\u00a0molon labe<\/em><\/a>, as the ancient Greeks used to say: Come and take it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The greenie left is coming for your coffee It wasn’t enough that the greenie left came for our light bulbs, our flush toilets, our guns, our plastic straws, our gas stoves, or our hamburgers.
