ditto bugsy!

Point taken Bugsy.
Yes, an over sensitivity is evident when a continuous bombardment of the scare mongering in all forms of media is the norm. We do have a tendency to see red when the first two and a bit paragraphs of an article pointedly referra to 'climate change' , the "silent killer".
There is no more 'urgent' a need to 'adapt' now than what has been the continuous adaption we have done for millennia. The program for preserving and having open access to both modified and 'antique' grain/food Gene pools is brilliant and worthy of continued support.

Having axcess to food for the future is ome thing, being able to afford it will be the main proble moving forward.

Farmers are already struggling in many areas to keep food rolling off the land, because, as usual, consumers set the prices, or more so, they turn away from many items if and when they become to expensive, even if it means finding a cheaper ( often imported) alternative.

And of cause, they are no longer allowed to ripen on a Sunday, as the farmer can't afford the wages.

Look around at prices, you can buy a cabbage for anywhere from 99c to $7.00, onions 69c to $4.00, carrots from 69c to $3.00, potatoes 99c to $3.00 and tomatoes 2.99 to $7.00.

These same fluctuations ave been going on for decades, simly because of supply V demand and, like meat, there is always an alternative.

One can only imagine what will happen when a farm hand is on $50 per hour, fuel is $2.50 per litre and it costs $200 per hour to have a machine serviced or fixed.

Why else do you think the Chinneese are buying our farm land, it because we won't be able to afford the costs of farming.

I am afraid that having food seed amd somewhere to grow it is only a small part of the problem.

Come off it Bugsy, the bloke spends his first three paragraphs call the tune of the global warmers.

He even has the hide to call things more urgent than ever, when there has been mo warming for 14 years, despite the shonks mutilating the reporting system in their attempts to produce some.

Yes he does not use the words, perhaps he enough integrity to be unable to go that far, but no one reading those first paragraphs could be in any doubt what master he is serving.

The UN, & all it's agencies, is dead. Like the wild pig, shot through the heart, it might still run for a while, not believing it is dead, but it is only a matter of time for both of them. No organisation so dysfunctional & corrupt can survive for long. Most will dance on it's grave.

The author writes
'But we can’t ignore that climate change is a silent killer that is contributing to variations in the conditions in which we produce our food. '

And the complete oversupply of food in our supermarkets contributes to a huge level of obesity. Maybe we need some more of this 'çlimate change ' in order to see our kids live longer.

Well gee Hasbeen, I'm sure everyone else is also glad that you're around to read authors minds and reinterpret their intentions accordingly. It makes them very easy to dismiss doesn't it?

Never mind that he talked about plenty of other things like crop diversity and the threat of disease and weeds (i.e. invasive species). Never mind that he has done more for this world in one year than you have done in 50. He mentioned 'climate change'. Oh dear.
