Carbon dioxide emissions break growth records

http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/story/2011/12/05/environment-co2-emissions-record.html

looks like the IPCC's worst case scenario's are being exceeded again.

 

Man, there were some bad methane emissions last night but I feel better today!

IPCC is a worst case scenario.

 

well this might enlighten a few folks

Then again...if we don't consume industrial food, we will all starve to death

 

not at all, If you follow whats happening its pretty interesting. The GMO crops are developing resistant strains of parasites that are seriously degrading the quality and quantity of the crops. And the resistant strains are very tough to kill or control with conventional pesticides or herbicides. Crazy that its such a fast failing experiment, but we've been warned over and over again about the dangers of improperly applying pesticides and antibiotics. Small wonder that resistant parasites have reared up so fast.

we'll be going back to organics soon enough, want to or not if for no other reason than that the GMO's are turning out to be the preferred food for the new strains of parasites, and the "normal" bugs got killed off by the massive doses of pesticides its going to take to grow the GMO crops. So Frankenbugs prefer Frankengenes over unmodified crops. Nice twist eh/

Its kinda poetic justice if you ask me.

 

As a last measure we can resort to cannibalism. Some are so full of cr@p as to be inedible though.

 

Organics ??? They will never feed the world. At present half the world is starving to death and the other half is paying thru the nose for scarce food stuffs. The seed of revolt in the Arab world was the high cost of food...not freedom. The Chinese have just put together a 300 billion dollar sovereign wealth fund and one of its main missions is to purchase farm land. Food will very soon be the new oil. Perhaps GMOs are not the answer but serious research into crop science is desperately needed. Organics are a pipe dream.

 

This makes a lot of sense. I recently took some trips through the banana growing regions of Australia. The place had lots of rich, red volcanic soil - a great place to grow crops I thought.

Later, talking to locals, I found that it takes 1.5 tonnes of fertilizer per hectare per year to grow bananas. The soils are all depleted from years of growing.

This is probably the case for a lot of the worlds arable land.

Anyone who has ever grown a home garden knows how much land is needed to feed a family, and the amount of work it takes.

Food will be the next oil for sure.

 

Not to mention thousands of hungry wallabies who prefer eating fruit (and fruit trees) to grass & native plants.....

PDW

 

The wallabies have refined tastes, - you know the famous Aussie saying "You can live on bush tucker - but it tastes like **** !"

The way you put it here suggests that all GMO crops are failing.
Is that really the case, or are you over-stating the case?

That would be a reasonable conclusion if:
1. All GMO crops were failing because of new strains of parasites, and
2. Organic farming was a viable means of feeding billions of people.
