Here They Come Again...

compost the UN

Srsly.  Where ya heard these phrases before?

“It could be as little as 60 years and that is a scary figure because it is not obvious that we have time to reverse decline and still meet future demands for food,” [John Crawford, professor of Sustainable Agriculture at the University of Sydney] said.

“...  the most precious resource we have got, and… (we) are not up to the task of securing it for our children never mind our grand children.”

...could vanish within about 60 years if drastic action was not taken.

This will lead to a global food crisis, chronic food shortages and higher prices

Yep—same script::different “crisis.”

...soil is being lost in China 57 times faster than it can be replaced through natural processes.
In Europe that figure is 17 times, in America 10 times [in Australia 5 times].

aaaaand:

Chronic soil mismanagement and over farming causing erosion, climate change and increasing populations were to blame for the dramatic global decline in suitable farming soil, “scientists“ said.
[yes.  those are slur-quotes around “scientists"]

*cough*hydroponics*cough* *cough*quit building housing on arable farmland*cough* *cough*compost fake “scientists” and those who sheep them*cough*

OR…

Your Future under the UN

Soil is also a valuable store of carbon and can release the greenhouse gas if it is ploughed or dug up.

*facepalm*

1. Well then, it doesm’t matter if we will all die of heat stroke in a hundred years, we will already be dead since there will only be bare rock - no agriculture - in about half that time.
   
   Hmm. Does anyone know if AllGory has been setting up companies to distribute soil-building earthworms?

2. This is too good to pass up.  The head of the IPCC is one Dr Rajendra Pachauri.  Among other things, he wrote blockbuster books like “Political Economy of Global Energy” and “Dynamics of Electrical Energy Supply and Demand: An Economic Analysis”; he warned us that the glaciers are going to melt next Tuesday (he backed off that one).

   Now we find out he’s been writing a naughty book:

   Revealed: the racy novel written by the world’s most powerful climate scientist

   “He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007, on behalf of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.”

   Now he may be in the running for the Nobel Literature Prize.
