Funny how the climate cult always wants to fix things. Like, everything. There’s nothing they aren’t aiming to change
We Can’t Solve Climate Change Until We Fix Our Food System
Jonathan Foley, a climate solutions scientist and executive director of Project Drawdown, recently gave a TED Talk that lays down some hard truths about the climate impacts of our current food system, saying “… we cannot solve climate change unless we also address the problems of food alongside fossil fuels and energy.” Foley makes the connection between food and climate, and then offers some data-backed approaches that are possible right now — no new technology required — that can effectively reduce the climate impacts of our food system.
When it comes to reducing emissions to address the climate crisis, the food system doesn’t get nearly the attention that clean energy and clean transportation get, but it’s going to take a lot more than solar panels and electric vehicles to “solve” climate change. Our food system has a number of big climate levers that can be pulled starting today, and as Foley concludes, he shares his belief that the challenge is actually “an incredible opportunity.”
“So how are we going to move forward here? Well, I think we actually have an incredible opportunity facing us today. While the food and climate crisis is an enormous challenge, of course, I also see it as an incredible opportunity. And that opportunity is to build an entirely better food system. We could have a food system that truly nourishes the world, today and into the future. We could have a food system that reduces pressure on nature and even help restore some of it. And we could have a food system that actually stops climate change. That’s entirely possible and at our fingertips today. And we could do all of this at the same time.
“And what’s so beautiful today is this is already possible. None of this requires some new technology. It requires us to change. That’s it. And we just need to choose it. But if we do, we can follow the science, and we can collaborate across this whole range of solutions and actually unlock a much better future.”
“It requires us to change.” Why? If he wants to change and convince his Warmist comrades to do the same, go for it. But, who forces the change he wants? Who makes those changes? He won’t come out and say it (I actually listened to his annoying 12 minute TED talk), but, the answer is Government. Strange how it always comes down to government force. To government controlling an economic sector, and, like many others, if they control your food, they control you.
You will eat your soylent green, and you will like it!
Pretty sure the globalists got the memo about creating a food supply crisis to combat climate change some time ago.
“Dear citizens, we gave lots of your money to a bunch of unscrupulous, but super sciency, leftists, to sign their names to a lot of really scary stories predicting a wicked uber bad future for you unless you hand over a lot MORE money to .gov and do as you’re told. Oh, and we’re going to have to burn your house down and ruin your children’s lives to save them from the awful disastrous ugliness that we made up to make sure we can keep all the good stuff for ourselves, at least until we’re dead.
Have a nice day!”
