World to run out of food in 27 years and 248 Days!

Posted on 04/27/2022 4:52:06 AM PDT by MtnClimber

What woukd we do without "experts"?

According to a report in the UK tabloid the Daily Star, some scientists are now predicting that the world will run out of food in 27 years. 27 years and 251 days, to be more precise…as of Sunday, April 24th, 2022. (Start your doomsday countdown at home!)

So, that’s it, the science is settled, apparently. We are done by 2050.

But, what if, say, 26 years from now half of us go on strict diets and limit our caloric intake…or 60% of us are by then vegan…or 10% of the projected population has been killed off by Lyme Disease/Islamic radicals/leftist economic policies? Might we actually then have 27 years and 351 days left? Or, dare we hope, perhaps even 29 years and 5 days left? Could we even make it to 2055?

“Sociobiologist” Edward Wilson [known professionally as E.O. Wilson] is quoted in the report saying, “There are limits to Earth’s capacity to feed humanity. Even if everyone on the planet agreed to become vegetarian, the world’s farmland could not support the need. The world population will be too big to feed itself. By then, there will be almost 10 billion people on the planet and the food demand will have increased by 70% compared to what we needed in 2017. The limit to how many people Earth can feed is set at 10 billion at the absolute maximum. The constraints of the biosphere are fixed, there’s no wiggle room here.”

Wilson added: “It’s unlikely that everyone will agree to stop eating meat, so the actual limit is lower. And each nation is different, but still there is an excess amount of food being eaten and wasted every day.

Did we lose some days in a year (i.e.365 days/year)?

Won’t global warming or climate change get us first?

Or is all the food being consumed by Stacey Abrams?

Thomas Malthus said the same thing in 1798. He was a Brit too.

Joe will get us into a nuclear war, so I’m not too worried about it.

25 years left until we overwhelm Mother Earth, ever since Malthus promised us that in 1798.

Looks like the sort of research a Bill Gates nonprofit would be funding.

Totally cool man. We'll all be dead from "Gorball Warming" long before that, and if not the aliens and bigfoot will finish us off.
