18. After Oil and Water comes Food |
|
As the oil runs out, so will the petroleum-based fertilizers that have supported unprecendented levels of agriculture yield. Coupled with the increasingly volatile climate changes that are already putting stress on agricultural production capacity, we're going to face widespread famine.
So those areas of the world that win the new Climate Lottery are going to be the focus for conquest. Which, of course, almost certainly guarantees a disruption of the ability of native farmers to grow food.
