More “news” from the Christian Science Monitor – “With world population expected to grow by nearly 50 percent to more than 9 billion people by midcentury, farmland is going to need to be much more productive. Even today, nearly 1 out of every 6 people in the world – more than 1 billion – are going hungry, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.”
What’s wrong with this picture? It begins with the premise that the answer to over-population is simply to produce more calories per person. A perfectly silly premise, but ubiquitously accepted by our media pundits. Which includes most mainstream do-gooders in the so-called “green movement.”
And after the neo-Green Revolution figures out how to feed to hordes? Wal-Marts for everybody!
What a future.
