    A google search says something like 9-11 million people die a year from starvation and poor diets… with over a billion that are food insecure. Dude, you dont understand the problem in anyway.

      Stop looking at PR headlines from NGOs. Start looking at the IPC world map and the UN. There’s literally 3 places on the planet where people are seriously dying from hunger, that’s IPC level 5. Aid programs have a bad habit of including the entire population of anywhere IPC drops a note.

      Places like the Sahel are having droughts or like in Bangladesh are having crops destroyed by historic floods while they soak in refugees from Myanmar. They receive food and support from the WFP. They make up 99 percent of the places IPC is tracking.

      Those pressures aren’t going away if we don’t handle climate change. In fact they’re going to get worse. Stopping the increase in climate change related events is a net positive in the food supply. Increasing arable land available is a net positive on food supply.

      Finally, according to UNFAO, humanity produces enough food. We just need to get it to places when local production falters. Which again is generally related to climate change anyway.

      This fake concern combined with a kid’s attempt to appear smart is really grating. If we do nothing about climate change, including leaving ridiculous meat production levels in place, things get worse, not better.

        I see a lot of words from someone that thinks that people are not starving or at risk of starving around the world, so I am going to guess its a direct “nu-uh” comment. Sorry, not interested.
