Lmao, we're just a bit more fucked than that.

Global fresh water demand will exceed supply 40% by 2030 and 90% of the earths topsoil is at risk of depletion by 2050.

Resource depletion is going to hit hard in the next few decades, billions of people will die.

Watch the daily mail say this is due to net zero or some other nonsense

Trans bathroom policies and drag queens cause widespread agricultural failure.

Maybe, maybe not but what we do is know for sure is that this shill op is to justify inflation and a lot of price gouging

Remember when we were running out of oil and had bunch of wars over oil.... Many People made wife changing money on that shill op too

only by a third by 2050? that's only 1.1% yearly inflation rate

Yes but remember climate is not the only factor in food inflation. This estimated 1.1% would be on top of other factors.

E: oops, missed out 'not'
