This is about the world food supply, not global warming, and there is no shortage of food.

Yes, I have seen the effects of war, first hand as a matter of fact.

Everything goes 'bad' given enough time, but there is also lots of land not being used for food when it could be. There is just no need for it at the present time.

I am a firm scientific type, so I base what I say on science. There is no shortage of food, or oil, or anything else. It may be more expensive than you're used to, but that is a result of hoarding and speculators, not shortages. Is it good? No, but it's normal, given human nature.

Could we replace oil? Of course we could. No we are not doing so, because there is far too much money to be made in oil right now.

Will it bring down the American Empire? Probably.

Wars, Imperial Overstretch, massive debt, printing money at random; all those things are bringing down the American Empire.

So is hoarding and speculation. But there is no actual shortage.
