Why tequila though? It is particularly suited to pretty warm and dry climates, at least for most of the year. The biggest thing the tequila farmers have to worry about is specific specs on the soil to even qualify to be tequila growers. Of course, once planted, there can be other issues, but tequila agave isn't exactly all dying because of dry weather

Well, no it’s not in grave danger right now, but the only place agave can be successfully grown and cultivated is Mexico. An already hot climate is just gonna get worse. It also takes several years for it to mature enough to be harvested. One small break in the chain can have lasting effects for years

The only place tequila agave can be grown is in very specific areas of Mexico. Anywhere else and it's not actually allowed to be labeled as tequila. But I just don't believe that it will be as impacted by hot, dry weather as other things. Source: my husband grows tequila agave in Jalisco and I've spent more time there among the agave, actually helping to fertilize and check health of the plants with him, than most internet people, other than those from Jalisco, of course

Maybe by 2100. But not by 2050.

Climate change predictions have been wrong since they started. Look at where people in power are buying land. Obama pushed climate change then invested in ocean front property. Property that should disappear based on the climate science he pushes.

I feel like people are slowly understanding that science in general is not what we wished it to be. It's often wrong and there are often GrOuNdBrEaKiNg findings that contradict each other

I will put a reminder in for 2040 and when we get the notification sitting on the same beach in Hawaii that we visited on our honeymoon, my wife and I will laugh.
