Coffea Arabica—which accounts for 70 percent of the coffee grown globally, including your morning joe—requires the cool year-round temperatures and ample rainfall found in tropical highlands. Robusta (Coffea Canephora)—source of the the low-grade joe that supplies the instant market—also requires a tropical climate, but can tolerate warmer, drier conditions.Both coffee species are already under pressure from climate change, the reports finds, and as the planet warms and weather patterns shift, the globe's landmass suitable for coffee production is likely to shrink by half within three decades. And a key tool for maintaining coffee on a hotter planet is also under threat: Wild coffee plants, which "could prove vital in the development of new, drought- and disease-tolerant varieties at the very time when coffee farmers need them most," could be driven to extinction within 70 years, the report warns.
I drink tea, I don't care.
Some of those efforts suggest that tea-producing areas in some places, notably East Africa, could decline by as much as 55 percent by 2050 as precipitation and temperatures change. Biggs and Gupta are doing similar analysis in Assam and early signs point to less land and lower yields if warming continues and adaptation measures aren’t taken.
All we need to do is drop a giant ice cube out in the ocean. Simple
Good thing climate change is just a hoax invented by the Chinese.
I am 99% convinced we'll be extinct within a century.
Meanwhile the ice caps are larger than ever

The ozone layer has been repairing itself for the past few decades from all the CFCs prior to when products containing them were made illegal. We would expect Antarctica to be growing. . .

No.It shows that damage done to the ozone layer by atomic halogens in previously widely used products is repairing itself.
