Why do I sense a Third World War coming?

I can really see one coming within the next ten years (or less)

Planet could be 'unrecognizable' by 2050, experts say


WASHINGTON (AFP) – A growing, more affluent population competing for ever scarcer resources could make for an "unrecognizable" world by 2050, researchers warned at a major US science conference Sunday.

The United Nations has predicted the global population will reach seven billion this year, and climb to nine billion by 2050, "with almost all of the growth occurring in poor countries, particularly Africa and South Asia," said John Bongaarts of the non-profit Population Council.

To feed all those mouths, "we will need to produce as much food in the next 40 years as we have in the last 8,000," said Jason Clay of the World Wildlife Fund at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

"By 2050 we will not have a planet left that is recognizable" if current trends continue, Clay said.

The swelling population will exacerbate problems, such as resource depletion, said John Casterline, director of the Initiative in Population Research at Ohio State University.

But incomes are also expected to rise over the next 40 years -- tripling globally and quintupling in developing nations -- and add more strain to global food supplies.

People tend to move up the food chain as their incomes rise, consuming more meat than they might have when they made less money, the experts said.

It takes around seven pounds (3.4 kilograms) of grain to produce a pound of meat, and around three to four pounds of grain to produce a pound of cheese or eggs, experts told AFP.

"More people, more money, more consumption, but the same planet," Clay told AFP, urging scientists and governments to start making changes now to how food is produced.

Population experts, meanwhile, called for more funding for family planning programs to help control the growth in the number of humans, especially in developing nations.

"For 20 years, there's been very little investment in family planning, but there's a return of interest now, partly because of the environmental factors like global warming and food prices," said Bongaarts.

"We want to minimize population growth, and the only viable way to do that is through more effective family planning," said Casterline.

And the fucking pussy LIBERAL commie-pinko 'tards in Canada wish to know why the Conservatives seek to re-arm this country, mostly against the USA???

To me, a fascist, the solution is quite simple. Stop sending food aid to Africa and Southeast Asia. LET THE FUCKERS STARVE! If they cannot support their own population, that's their fucking problem. Let them die. Why should we in the West pay the cupcakeERS, PAKIS and SLANT to keep having babies? When the White race decided it was time to support the rest of the world, that was the dumbest move we ever made as a race. You can thank pussy liberals for that decision. The mess the world is in now is THEIR FAULT. Let them never forget it.

It might be interesting to see what this "world war" becomes, more of a class war of the "haves vs the have nots" than country vs. country.

Gotta go and re-read my Marx.

Gotta go and re-read my Marx.

That's a good idea. I found re-reading some of his thought on "limited resources and dwindling resources" fascinating.

Why does your irrelevant self find it necessary to post in my direction? There are many lesser individuals with which you may spout your silliness. Your posts are fraught with limited intellect, therefore you seek to move above your station. Let us be sensible here. You reach too high when you seek my attention.

I like to read 'The Communist Manifesto' or 'Das Kapital' whenever I am in need of a good laugh.

Karl Marx was the only individual who was aware of the coming time when our resources would be limited and dwindling?
