We learned, yesterday, that the west will no longer be able to provide food aid at current levels due to increasing costs. With diversion of food products like corn and wheat to biofuel production and the increase in oil prices driving transportation costs skyward, coupled with a downturn in our own economies, we just just can’t do it any more.
Last night, and every night for the last few years, 32,000 people starved to death on a planet where obesity is now a crisis. We are mowing down rain forests, not to plant food crops, but to grow biofuel feedstock. The whole thing is a mess of lunatic proportions. The authors of this latest assault on the world’s poor? Gore, Suzuki, Greenpeace, Sierra Club, and Friend of the Earth to name a few.
Over the past 4 or 5 years, we have heard cries from the Greens for Nuremburg trials for the bastards who deny global warming. Is it now time to call the Greens to answer for crimes against humanity?
Am I angry? Hell yes! We spend, and intend to spend, money by the truck load to avert a theoretical 0.08 degrees of further warming, hundreds of billions of dollars, while the poor of the world starve to death or suffer from diseases that we would not tolerate for a minute. All so we can feel good about our carbon footprints while we put the jack-boots to the third world.
Gore and his elite friends will try to tell you that global warming and climate change are causing the scarcity of food. As Penn and Teller say, BULL SHIT!
