The Relationship of Climate Change with Food Reserves

by Brian Yalung on Sunday, April 27th, 2008

Food Crisis

The chain of destruction caused by climate change continues to spread and today the amount of food that most of us need to survive are being affected. Such is an issue plaguing the whole world and while rations are being stocked up, you cannot help but wonder if this issue will indeed be sufficient.

There are people who panic buy in a way, stocking up their pantries and making sure that they have the necessities of food requirements of their bodies while at the same time trying to avoid the continuous rise in costs. Many of us call it an economic catastrophe but with that in mind, the only thing we can do right now is hope and pray that this dilemma does not get out of hand.

“Due to climate change, some crops will be negatively affected. Occurrence of more extreme events will affect agricultural production,” Cruz said in a phone interview.

Nilo, meantime, said “it is likely that climate change will aggravate the world food crisis due to frequent droughts and floods that could destroy crops.”

    These are pretty serious scare tactics. The rising cost of food has more to do with the cost of fuel it takes to get it there than climate change at this point. We can do more than just stock up on food. We can grow our own food instead of lawns. We can buy ethanol and mix it with our gasoline so we aren't paying quite so much and we increase the demand for ethanol so that it's production can increase. Our cars are just a computer program away from being able to run totally on ethanol. It is not a food for fuel issue. Find out the facts...report those instead of scare tactics.
