The scariest of all horror stories we could think of: Vice scared the living hell out of us with a video segment suggesting the world could be running out of coffee. Coffee leaf rust, a fungal infection, could potentially wipe out the world’s coffee plants by 2050. “Coffee rust kills plants by depriving them of nutrients.

It’s been a problem for coffee growers around the world for centuries, but unpredictable rainy seasons caused by climate change have intensified the spread of the fungus and affected farmers of varying means.” The infection mainly affects Arabica coffee beans — the good, expensive stuff, but lower quality Robusta beans, while more resistant to rust, are less economically feasible for farmers to grow (runtime 04:42).
