I have never yet seen in my entire life a single ounce of proof that shows that population control is necessary.
[QUOTE='[Seed Eater];36937612'] And you know what? It wouldn't surprise me if it all came to an end because of low corn output. We put that shit in EVERYTHING. It's in sodas, it's in twinkies, it's in fucking everything. We feed all of our livestock with it.[/QUOTE] Don't forget ethanol. Pretty much every gas station here sells 89 Octane fuel with 10-15% ethanol and/or E85.
[QUOTE=geoface;36941625]"the world" emm just america[/QUOTE] Many countries depend on us for food exports, and other countries have been having drought problems also, it's not localized.
this world is slowly starting to somewhat similar to the Hunger Games... Where every fucking one is fucking suffering from stavation and their not enough food to supply people with it...
[QUOTE=ironman17;36932735]Welp, if harvesting is getting harder due to weather, I have one word; biodomes. Build farms in controlled environments with adjustable day-night and weather cycles, so you don't have to depend on natural weather, and you could produce crops all year round. In regards to meat, pour more money into researching cheap and tasty vat-grown meat.[/QUOTE] The idea of a biodome is so very impractical considering the scale of a single farming operation.
If American agriculture continues to decline, we would lose some of our super power 'cred' and millions if not billions of people could go hungry. I guess we can boost funding to crop engineering and desalinization plants. But that could take a lot of time to install and see the results.
