1). A lot of some human food can be grown in a small amount of space: World's first robot-run farm to churn out 11 million heads of lettuce per year | Inhabitat - Green Design, Innovation, Architecture, Green Building
2). Humans can (almost) substitute most animal for vegetable protein: https://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/vegetables-high-in-protein.php 3). Smaller animal sources can replace larger animals: Insect protein ‘similar to conventional meat’ The future technology is out there for our later generations to survive. (After every other life form has been scraped off the surface and depths of this planet.) But will that be the world we envision? We want? |
I thought we were all going to be roasted alive by Global Warming?
Warmer weather leads to longer growing seasons. Canada will pick up the slack when we don't have snow on the ground 8 months of the year. |

Some think technology will solve the problem -

Sure there is lots of land out there... but as Java points out only a small percentage is livable... drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and there is a lot of desert... desert with little empty homesteading shacks... empty because there is no water and nothing will grow in the poor soil.

Las Vegas used to be "unlivable desert."
Same with Palm Spring, and actually most of So. Cal. |

Palm Springs was built on the Coachella Valley Aquifer. It's a HUGE underwater lake fed by snow run-off from Mount San Jacinto and Mount San Gorgonio. The CVA is drying up so fast that half the 124 irrigated golf courses are in serious jeopardy. The Coachella Water District is now also fighting Vegas and SoCa for Colorado river water, along with the Imperial Valley farmers. So little water is getting below Blythe that in many places you can walk across the Colorado without getting your shorts wet. I still believe MRSA will get us first, but a lack of clean water is a close second. |
