I think that twin uptopia of our time will die in the process: greenie uptopia and financial uptopia.
Ping!
What’s an uptopia ?
So feeding food to machines instead of people contributes to starvation. Maybe people can start eating oil.
Al Gore Junior should return his PEACE prize. It’s ALL his fault.
Well maybe not ALL his fault but neither is global warming and global warming KOOKS own a greater share of the responsibility for food shortages than “man” shares for contributing to “global climate (sun) change”.
“The global community must collectively deliberate on immediate steps to reverse the unconscionable increases in the price of food, which threatens to negate the benefits to the poor nations from aid, trade and debt relief.”
What a bunch of idjits. Anybody watching what has been happening knows that all we have to do is drill and refine more oil.
Get the price of oil back to around $30 to $40 per barrel and the problem goes away.
Now they want to sit around and think about what to do.
It's a Utopia, but on a higher floor.
Duh.
Is oil halal? Is oil vegan safe?
Does it really come from dead dinosaurs?
< /s >
The UN will demand that we turn gasoline into corn...
It’s a utopia that won’t let redneck trash like us in :-).
This seem like a version of cold-war between the US and OPEC. If OPEC boosted production which cut the price of oil in half, suddenly the economics behind alternative fuels doesn't look so good. The harsh reality is, OPEC isn't about to do that and as such, the US isn't about to stop using corn as fuel.
My hope is that while oil prices are high, technology finds away to radically cut the world wide use of oil and within my life time, the OPEC countries return to their 3rd world ways. Solar, wind, corn, hydro, I don't care. I want it cheap, green and foreign oil-free. To the inventor go the spoils.
Seems like Somolia all over again. I bet if we just went to a Communist world these things would never happen. No way. The Soviet Union had plenty of food and....no....wait...I just can’t be this sarcastic with a straight face. Nevermind.
Kind of like a discriminating utopia.
Isn’t it illegal to discriminate?
So it’s an illegal utopia.
Don’t give them any ideas.
At least we know that Rhodesia is rolling in the cash as the breadbasket of Africa. < /sarc>
So, why aren't we??
Is it we are now growing energy instead of food??
Is it too many acres have been taken out of production??
Is it that corporate farms play too many high-powered financial games, whereas the good ol family farmer just wanted to feed themselves and as many others as possible??
I don't know, somebody in the know tell us!!!
Unintended consequences or collateral damage of the war on global warming?
It’s a near-perfect HEGELIAN DIALECTIC:
Manufacture some problems, (high energy prices, man-caused global warming HYSTERIA, etc.) which create secondary problems (starvation, high food costs, etc.) then global elitist run institutions step up and offer solutions to problems THEY created (GIVE US, YOUR INTELLECTUAL AND ECONOMIC “BETTERS” EVEN MORE CONTROL OF YOUR PUNY, MISERABLE — DID I MENTION BITTER — LIVES.)
It’s perfect and works every time.
Clearly, the end is near.
