Now you have gone right off the subject again. You earlier gave a link to a leading agricultural scientist and i pointed out that his views on world population supported mine.
You say 'Hilarious Banjo:
"As distinct from you, Yabby and I believe the UN and governments should be doing far more to reduce birth-rates, especially in those countries subject to famine."
Why is that hilarous? That simply says that Yabby and I disagree with what the UN and governments are doing. They fail to address the issue of world population and so do all the talkfests that have been held about AGW.
Now I will not speak for Yabby on this but I would not mind if we pulled out of the UN altogether. People in developing countries are in far greater danger of starving than they are of being affected by climate change. The UN fails to address that and continues with programmes like the World Food Programme, which is merely treating the symptions. You have already been given examples of how governments, and UN, could act, by following on from what Iran and Thailand has done.
I remain an AGW sceptic and I do not believe that we have the capability to feed an ever growing world population. The countries that are most subject to famine will be the ones to suffer first.
