Feeding 9 bln people by 2050

[begood]

Talk about missing the point. Small and closed minds relying on blind faith. Leaves not much hope; from any support from that hopefully small minority.

Perhaps someone should check the beginning of this thread to see who brought up the religion part.

Just sayin'

Begood,

"And absolutely no one; including a supposed higher power; is apart of any plan of any kind."

I respectfully and politely disagree.

If we decide to... we can feed 9 billion by 2050.

And the creative nature of humans... will be responsible... just as it is for the Capacity to feed 6 billion people... today.

[begood]

And can we feed 18 billion; which could happen less than 2 generations later. And where will those raw materials and inputs come from.

begood,

WOW... the UN has nothing better to do... but fearmongering...

Have you folks been taking lessons from the CWB?

pOPULATION was 'supposed' to top out at 9b in 2050.

nOW IT APPEARS possible to manage this in a comforable rational market based solution... the UN must up the number to 15.8 billion people so the likes of begood can confiscate our food to feed the hungry in the year 2100!!!

WOW... these people really need better job discriptions... just like the folks in Winnipeg!!!

The answer is-well over 10,000 die everyday.

Not exactly a world of plenty,no matter what spin
you throw.

There are many valid logical arguments that we can
not feed 9 billion let alone 6 billion.

There are laws in the universe,think gravity,where
impossible means impossible.

Yeah, those foolish Wright brothers should never have tried to defy gravity and fly. It got them nowhere and just wasted a lot of time and money.

[begood]

It may be important to point out that birds fly too, and have been doing so for quite some time. It isn't that airplanes and birds are defying the laws of gravity, it is that they have devised ways to create forces that are sufficient to overcome the effect of gravity for relatively short periods of time.
If you are serious, and no doubt you are, then it would be possible to have someone explain this to any normal thinking person.

[TOM4CWB]

Burnt,

Obviously we lost the argument. Admit it... Good is Evil... Up is down... both of us and our families died in the great 1987 famine.

That was a terrible year... over a billion people died... they all walked into the ocean like lemmings... cause the end of the world... was here!!!

I appologise Begood... I forgot I was dead for a few days... I will tell my ghost to stop bothering you!

[begood]

And from that basis we all can admit that no one has won or will win. We can only rely on human creativity, common sense and supporting and making future decisions that will make the best of a serious situation.
There is a problem. Amen.
