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.

I’m glad that during my education in a real elementary school years ago, we heard about Chicken Little and “The Sky is Falling”.Of course, our modern journalism-majors never achieved that high of a level of reading and comprehension.
LOL! Isn't that the troof.

I seem to recall a New York Times piece (in the 1960s) that said 1975.
These guys are worse than Jehovah's Witnesses when it comes to predicting the end of the world.

We are all supposed to be incinerated by climate change in less than 10 years so what does it matter?

Wait until they’re fried “green blobs”.. the Soylent Green “morsels” will have a very distinct taste, I’m guessing.

I’m confused...
Are we going to burn to death due to globull warming, or starve to death first?

Does that mean there won’t be any obese welfare recipients by 2050?

Does that mean there won’t be any obese welfare recipients by 2050? By then the obese will be harpooned for their blubber which will be rendered into diesel fuel. Ironically this may speed up glowbal warming and cause Earf to burn before everyone starves.

But the world is going to end by climate catastrophe in the next 10 years, per the brilliant AOC and ManBearPig...
