　　With temperatures estimated to increase by between 1.8 and 4 degrees Celsius by the end of the century，the fragile plant might become increasingly expensive and difficult to grow，especially in places such as Ethiopia and Kenya.In that worst case，nearly all of the world's native arabica coffee would die out.Under more conservative estimates，about 65 percent of the regions that used to grow the coffee would become unsuitable for it.The evidence from coffee farmers，from numerous coffee growing regions around the world，is that they are already suffering the influences of increased warming.

　　Some commercial farmers would likely be able to move their operations to other areas or would be able to overcome climate change with artificial cooling techniques，but wild arabica is generally considered to be much more suitable for making high－quality coffee.(造成破壞) on the economies of the mainly third－world countries in which it grows.Coffee is the world's most popular drink and is the second most－traded commodity in the world【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇研究報告主要介紹了氣候變化對世界咖啡產量的影響尤其是對小粒咖啡的影響。What does the passage mainly talk about?
