what the end means

WHAT THE END MEANS

In the 1300’s the world had about 400 million folks, give or take a few villages.  In the ten years since Peak Oil we have added TWICE that many to the already ridiculous 6 billion petroleum extraction has allowed us to populate the Earth with.  And keep in mind, not only was there still weather induced famines in 1300 even with just that few people, our population increase since 2005 was with an already reduced rate of the increase in reproduction.  Resource contraction has already forced birth rates down-when you can’t feed all your kids already the next one you shoot out from your over-used womb most likely dies of malnutrition-yet there are so many mouths reproachfully gapping for nourishment already that a decrease in the increase is still an increase that puts too much strain on the system.  And least ye judge the milling overpopulated masses in Africa and the entire middle east to include Israel ( the Wall isn’t as much to keep suicide bombers out as to appropriate all the aquafers and farmland the Palestinians are rude enough to think are theirs- and it still won’t be enough soon enough ), the good ‘ol USA is itself overpopulated with an official number of 319 million which doesn’t include illegals.  I don’t give two craps what color those people are, what language they speak or where they are from.  I don’t want more damned fools moving here when we already have tens of millions too many already.  If for no other reason, porous borders should impeach Obammy.

You think America is still the worlds breadbasket, even accounting for ethanol wastage?   We are no better off than India, its once fertile region having gone from pumping water from 50 feet a few short years ago to now going hundreds ( with the new wells drying out sooner and more pumping required- the main source of farmer bankruptcy and suicide by poison ), its soil robbed of all nutrients and requiring artificial fertilizers and other inputs, drought a constant new worry.  All over the world, old farming land is degraded, new farmland-although not much is available-replaces forest which does not help our increasingly screwy weather as if we need to add to methane plumes from Siberia or sea current changes from Artic ice melt, and food production is not keeping up with population increase.  It is really not rocket science.  Increasingly for a variety of reasons that can’t be changed most of the world’s food production MUST be grown industrially with petroleum, at the same time that we are on a flat oil production plateau which is flat rather than declining only because of frack oil and tar sand and deep water drilling, while we are still increasing in population.  All food is petroleum produced, all regions are flatlined in oil production and we are still adding to population.  Does this sound like a scenario conducive to thirty more years of you paying off a concrete bunker atop a  mountain, or does it sound more like the crap will hit the fan in this country any day now?  Next article, a less than rosy picture of how the feces will splatter.
