    Just think about it mate. Changing foods is better than watching the oceans acidify and all life around us die, mass crop failure, worldwide famines and societal collapse, fighting everyone for whatever exists. 6billion people will become 1billion and you’ll be taking your chances on being one of the few that doesn’t starve.

    The future we’re heading towards right now is not going to be fun. It’s time to adapt rapidly to what needs to be done, or die.

      Oh I agree. I was simply pointing out that the statement I highlighted can totally be applied by either side of the debate, verbatim.

      It actually made me chuckle, since if it were the only thing in your comment, I wouldn’t have known what your position was.

      All that being said, I agree it’s adapt rabidly or die. The real tragedy here in the short term, is it’s going to be the worlds most vulnerable populations to die first.

        I think it will surprise people when it happens. Nobody will be safe. When global food supply collapses it won’t just be the poor countries that go into crisis. I’m fairly sure that it will simultaneously happen to almost everyone. The countries least likely to be harmed are the ones with large rice crops.
