U.S. And Europe Face 40% Drop In Food Production, Scientists Warn
Major study finds world's most productive farming regions are especially vulnerable to rising temperatures, and face steep declines in agricultural output this century.
That would be no problem, if we would reduce the meat and dairy consumption drastically. We could live with even less productivity, if vegetable based diet would be the norm.
I have a bad feeling that the temperature will continue to rise, and food production continues to decline. Even if we can survive the first few steps, the next ones will be even harder. Chances are, poor people will simply starve to death, while rich people will continue to enjoy their meat and chocolate.
Ah... so 40% is a terrifying number. That is a lot of dead people.
One of the commonalities that sticks out in the Fall of Civilizations podcast is the collapse of food production.
You think the rich know and that's why they're trying to come trying to control us more recently?
When were the rich not trying to control us?
You should never confuse rich people with good planners. The ultra wealthy exists because they're greedy to the point of stupidity. Rapaciousness. They want more right now no matter the consequences. They can, will, and are grasping for as much as they can to the point it'll exterminate our species.
Americans will still be fat with those numbers.
The climate change diet, the most effective way to lose weight!
I guess we'll have to figure out a way to not waste so much of it.
