Some perspective

[farming101]

In terms of food security and the survival of the species what else is needed?

I truly don't know. Is there a food security problem or is it more a waste, poor government, greed problem?
It is said one third of produce world wide is thrown out.

As long as there are cities (and they are growing faster than ever), there will be a need for farmers to grow food for others.

Hamloc, 1.6% sounds small and insignificant - but the tonnage we emit with @32 million population is very close to what Indonesia produces with a population of 260 million! Before you chime in with "but it's a hot country..." compare Canada instead to somewhere more similar like the Ukraine - we emit twice the tonnage yet they have @45 million population. Same with Poland - Canada emits twice their tonnage and they have @38 million people. Canada is not an insignificant emitter of GHGs.

Firstly HOW can we know the tonnage calculations are accurate? I don't believe they are and nobody can prove them correct.
Same with a WORLD temperature, ya sure believe them, too much chance for errors and made up shit.

Secondly this is a VERY COLD place, step outside and what do you think we are doing inside?
Burning a hell of a lot of fuel for heat and transportation to stay ALIVE!
All is comparing apples and oranges, total made up stuff.

Couple of questions Grassfarmer. First 3,32% of grain is insignificant but 1.6% of C02 is huge? Second how much oil does the Ukraine and Poland produce?
