Maybe, but coffee genetics is complex. There's lots and lots of varieties, but most of them make pretty awful coffee. Maybe if they can work out which genes make it heat tolerant they could transfer them to arabica.

It is domesticated, and has excellent flavor, but it's less productive, the beans tend to be smaller. For a long while it was thought to be extinct, but somebody found some samples that were growing wild and are now growing it. On the upside, it grows at much lower altitudes and is heat tolerant.

Gun control, as with other legalistic ways to control or limit human behavior is never perfect, but lack of perfection doesn't mean it doesn't work.

Primary energy is mostly waste heat. Using it massively overstates its importance. Electrification usually cuts energy use by 1/2 to 2/3. Once you allow for that, you find we're much closer to net zero than you would expect.
