re: #309 Aceofwhat?

we’ve been through this already. don’t, in your haughty mind, think that i didn’t read every single thing you pushed out last time. i appreciate the links, but note that you’re saying what the authors did not.

please link to sources which explicitly say that we will be starving in America en masse in 2100.

Something that cannot go on forever…won’t.

We have hit the limits of the Green Revolution. We are running out of Phosphorus for fertilizer. For the first time in 50 years we are now facing a new type of wheat rust that destroys crop yields. New wheat varients that are used around the world have no defense against it and it has now appeared in East Africa and South Asia.

Lack of arable crop lend was a factor in the Rwanda massacres, and we would be idiots to assume that Malthusian arithmatic simply doesn’t apply to us. We may just keep going the way we have been and escape bad luck and geologic or climate change scenarios while finding new ways to keep aggresive new pathogens away.

Or we may not.
