The online listing says the kit contains 36,000 servings of food that will feed a family of four for one year. Did anyone else do the math on this? More than 24 servings a day per person? I'm still on my first cup of coffee so maybe I'm way off...

Probably not much to a “serving”.

At the present rate Western Civ is not long for this earth - And the weather will have little or nothing to do with it.

Too early for math, but most of that survival food stuff considers a “serving” to be about 100 calories.

But, why would Al Gore lie to us. Look at how he lives at a bare subsistence level in preparation.

It will also save you $6,000 the next time you visit Costco.Might want to spend the $6k.
The cooling will start within the advertised shelf-life of the product, and when it does, worldwide food production will drop substantially.

2.4 servings per person per day36,000 / 365 = 98.63.
98.63 / 4 = 24.6575.
Unless, as it's mentioned above in post 5, that a serving is considered to be 100 calories (giving you 2,465 calories in a day), then the numbers are really funky.

An apocalypse a week keeps the public afraid and meek.
You can make a lot of the kind of dough you cannot eat off of it however.

Yes. I have read several reports of ice core analysis that suggest that an ice age can start in just a couple of hundred years or even a couple of decades. That’s the really scary climate change, not the one where farmers can grow bananas in Arkansas.

The 100 calorie comment is way off! At least 10 times that.

He's a liberal. All liberals lie. They can't help it. It comes natural to them.
Now you know why he would lie to us,

The 100 calorie comment is way off! At least 10 times that.Check the link in Post 10. It says 2,400 calories per person per day on average. So, the 100 calories per serving (suggested in post 5) on 36,000 servings would be correct.
36,000 servings times 100 calories per = 3,600,000 calories.
3,600,000 / 365 days = 9,863 calories/day.
9,863 calories / 4 people = 2,465 calories per day per person. So they are considering a serving as 100 calories.

Sorry, the link says 2,000 calories per day on average (based on four people), not 2,465. My numbers come out to 2,465 per day per person based on 4 people for one year.
