Food, Climate

My interactions with the emanations from the media are as minimal as possible and so I’m not ever likely to be too informed on the debates of the day, but  a very quick observation on the governmental targeting of farmers so as to reduce their output and impact on ‘climate change’.

Well if a world was experiencing catastrophic climate change, you know how one should expect one of the most crucial manifestations of this to be: lands turning to wastelands and a lack of agricultural output, and onwards to food shortages and mass starvation. If on the other hand we have an abundance of agricultural output, and where governments are intentionally stepping in to impede all this production of food, well then such an environment is not experiencing any climactic catastrophe. Repeating myself, the signs of a catastrophe would involve a lack of food, not a surplus of food. To think otherwise is simply the perversion of logic. It’s akin to saying a business is in trouble because it is making too much profit.
