Fix for Food Insecurity Worse than the Global Warming Disease
Timothy Birdnow
Here is a Business Insider article suggested by Facebook. The piece argues that Global Warming is "unfair" because it disproportionately impacts poor countries, particularly in terms of food security. I left the following comment:
Food insecurity will only get worse if we impose emissions restrictions/
carbon
taxation schemes. The fact is, the West produces most of the World's
food and the reason is mechanization and high tech farming - which is
the first casualty in a war on carbon. There will be slower economic
growth worldwide, and higher food prices. Who is hurt most by that?
Even if you believe in Global Warming as some sort of "planetary
emergency" you have to see that the solution will make the poor go
hungry. But then, so much of this is aimed at redistribution of wealth
rather than actually solving some legitimate problem.
