Some perspective

Grassy how come that same logic doesn't apply to the leftard environment bullshit.

[QUOTE=grassfarmer;362226]Yes, irrelevant to the discussion. Canada has such a small population and is such an insignificant player in the total world food supply that it doesn't matter if I have 2 cows or 200 cows. Point being small, simple changes will revolutionize food production in the big population countries where the masses need to be fed. Sitting here complaining because we aren't getting rewarded for "feeding the world" is irrelevant because we never have (and never will) feed the world.

Grassfarmer you have truly made my day. I did some quick research. Now you are quite correct we produce 3.32% of total world grain production which in the big picture isn't very much. We also produce 4.04% of the world's daily oil production, a little higher but still quite small. But what is truly insignificant is our share of the world's C02 emissions at 1.6%. So again Grassfarmer thanks for pointing out how truly insignificant Canada is in the world. 😃

In terms of food security and the survival of the species what else is needed?

I truly don't know. Is there a food security problem or is it more a waste, poor government, greed problem?
It is said one third of produce world wide is thrown out.

As long as there are cities (and they are growing faster than ever), there will be a need for farmers to grow food for others.

Hamloc, 1.6% sounds small and insignificant - but the tonnage we emit with @32 million population is very close to what Indonesia produces with a population of 260 million! Before you chime in with "but it's a hot country..." compare Canada instead to somewhere more similar like the Ukraine - we emit twice the tonnage yet they have @45 million population. Same with Poland - Canada emits twice their tonnage and they have @38 million people. Canada is not an insignificant emitter of GHGs.

Firstly HOW can we know the tonnage calculations are accurate? I don't believe they are and nobody can prove them correct.
Same with a WORLD temperature, ya sure believe them, too much chance for errors and made up shit.

Secondly this is a VERY COLD place, step outside and what do you think we are doing inside?
Burning a hell of a lot of fuel for heat and transportation to stay ALIVE!
All is comparing apples and oranges, total made up stuff.

Couple of questions Grassfarmer. First 3,32% of grain is insignificant but 1.6% of C02 is huge? Second how much oil does the Ukraine and Poland produce?
