Food prices to rise due to water shortages?

with all the talk about gmos, old-fashioned ag tech like water has been overlooked, and perhaps because the prospect of it disappearing is too scary...

I don't really think "political unrest will spread" or that "governments will fall" but it will suck for everyone that's still buying food in the near future - which wont be I

sometimes, it seems to me that the simple is overlooked ....when supply is relatively finite, and demand increases, prices go up.

review the population increases in the last century; then take a look at cultivable land, and agricultural methods. suddenly, all will be much clearer. you may rest assured that companies like monsanto et al are aware that many people now have either no clue, or no available land on which to raise food. climate in many areas, growing season, available soil nutrients...and, yes, water, are factors, as well as psychology of 'i want it, but don't want to work for it'.

random, uncontrolled breeding has consequences which are inescapable. my generation had the first inklings...and we used to yell about 'zero population growth'. no one listened; nothing was done....the fucking continued. god forbid we should control our fucking! everyone knows it's a basic human right to have all the dmaned inbred rugrats anyone wants, no matter who has to pay for them....

excuse the typing...one handed and doped up for awhile....but still as contemptuous of our species lack of foresight and common sense as ever.

a long while back, i did a limited study of 'money' to contravene claims made by an individual who thought 'redistribution of wealth' wasTHE solution....the simple fact was that a total 'equalling' o f financial reousces just for th u.s. would have left each individual with somethihng like 10 grand. the same kind of analysis could likely be applied to non-monetary resources with, i think, the same kind of result. i don't have the time or give enough of a shit to do it, however....not even anough g.a.s. to redo the monetary study. fuck it. let them eat cake.

 

the drought, if there is one, will be combined with commodities speculation, and could be devastating to people around the world without the means to pay the new prices

hopefully someone will wake up to the fact that the so-called free market is literally killing people, and put an end to it for once and all

And this, the only upload on youtube, is NOT the original upload, which had pages and pages of hilarious comments. Somehow... a lot of other copies were uploaded with much lamer comments, then the original upload removed, leaving just this copy which two people have managed to re-add witty comments to.

 

I've seen on a few different sites that North America, not including mexico wont see shortages for another 30 years. I'd have to dig up the link.

Monsanto who owns almost all of the GMOs globally is trying to buy up water supplies. Want total control? Why not own everything a human needs to survive. NWO is very real...

 

well, if everyone owned their own water there'd just be a bunch of yahoos shooting each other over it anyways

because there's simply not enough

[or won't be very soon]

 

Yea i agree with you. Thing is a vast majority of the people that are dealing with shortages are in huge urban cities.

I live in the country with our own water well. Its easier for us sure, but billions else where are not so lucky. Let alone how do you own water when the only source is a giant mucky stream (im using India as an example). Not easy answers...

Raise camels?

 

cactus, i'm eating cactus

 

Nothing like a side of mescaline with the morning coffee.

Let me go and trim that camel tree now.

 

more sarcasm, yay

 

I have a hand dug well but i don't have plumbing in my house built in 1820 that i restored after it being overrun by squirrels for 20 yrs, so i carry my water and i use a whole lot less now. I hand wash my clothes and body. I use my urine with wood ash for fertilizer and burn poop in wood stove.

 

uhh, why do you do this? you know it decomposes if you leave it on the ground right?

 

Some day the Catholic church and others who have not taken the population growth seriously WILL be forced to do so. It's inevitable. Problem is--what kind of chaos will occur before not only 0 pop- growth is attained,but reduction. (Follow the money--always follow the money)

 

You realize shit lying on the ground can't produce heat or electricity right?

 

It saves firewood and ends up on the ground anyway plus it won't polute the trout stream behind my home
