In order for us to ...Climate Change Is For Pussies<br /><br />In order for us to stay below 2°C, the IPCC says we need 500 million hectares of farmland to extract carbon from the air using bio-energy techniques. This is bullshit. 500 million hectares of farmland is about the size of India.<br /><br />Scientific American says humanity only has 60 years of human agriculture left to us because of because of the rates of soil degradation, depletion and outright loss.<br /><br />Also, because we add 1 million new people to earth every 4½ days, we will have to grow more food over the next 50 years than we ever grew in all of the last 10,000 years, combined.<br /><br />To do this, we will need 6 million hectares of new farmland every year for the next 30 years. But, we are actually losing 12 million hectares of farmland every year. We are losing soil at twice the rate we need to build it up.<br /><br />On top of all this, in just 10 years from now, 66% of humanity, or roughly 4-5 billion people, will be short of fresh water, with nearly 2 billion people being severely short of fresh water. Try growing food without water and soil and see how far you get.<br /><br />Get your Collapse Data Cheat Sheet here:<br />http://www.reddit.com/r/collapse/comments/311m7d/collapse_data_cheat_sheet/<br />Robert Callaghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13602424001995898488noreply@blogger.com
