$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dohboi', 'C')hina will likely start buying up vast tracts of prime agricultural land in the US (and perhaps UK?) as they are doing now in Africa, in lieu of repayment of our enormous debt. Of course, any kind of ag will be more and more difficult to engage in as the climate gets more and more chaotic.


So will the ability to protect, harvest and export from a foreign country.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he English hid behind the fact that they were the constitutional government for the Irish people pretending to be concerned by begging food for her people abroad while at the same time by constitutional policies taking the food from the people. They were ruthless in putting down all attempts by the Irish for self-government and all attempts of resistance. They passed laws that made it a crime for a father to protect his children or his home from destruction. They passed coercion laws that made it a crime for the Irish to leave their homes between sunrise and sunset or to hold arms. They had a well-fed armed guard of military and police watch over them while they starved. Never in the history of mankind was there a government who acted so cruelly to its people. Ireland never needed the begging bowl it had its own food grown in its own land and only needed its own concerned legislatures to pass laws to save her people. The constitutional Government of England was then the most powerful in the world and had the ear of the world through its influence and press. They manipulated the facts to cover up the real truth of what was happening in Ireland the mass murder of its people and the destruction of Ireland. An English induced constitutional famine.

During the famine years there was plenty of food in Ireland enough to feed double its population. Yes the potato failed but all other crops thrived. Under the system at the time Irish food was exported mainly to English markets but from they're found its way to many parts of the world. It puzzled many to hear there was famine in a land that had so much food to export .In normal countries it was usual to export food only after its population was fed. This was not the case in Ireland; during the period her food was taken away against the wishes of her people, usually at gunpoint and escorted to the ports under military guard. It was then carried away on ships leaving misery and starvation behind.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Cid_Yama', 'H')aving 3 children is an understandable reason for being in denial.
What a stupid remark to make, I have 2 beautiful girls myself and just because one does not see your absolute doom of the world is dieing and 9 out 10 will be dead soon stupid prediction that will not come true.

You decided not to have children because of a possible nuclear war and now that did not happen and you are now way past your prime to have kids [60+yrs old] and now preaching one should not have kids because of GW and most every one will die, Expletive deleted.

Have children everyone, the earth will be here for another 1000 years and so will humans, no massive die off from GW, maybe a outbreak of a bad flu or virus but no massive die off, popultate the world... :)

Take a look around the world is populated, in fact, overpopulated. Your assurance is less than convincing.

That is because the will of the people can survive most any thing throwing at them, look at the Jews and what they went thru, so if by chance this GW does pan out like Cid says people will survive, many people, we will adapt...

Being "upbeat" doesn't make you right either. Drugs can do the same thing for a person.

The crux of the question posed was being "upbeat", not the use of drugs, but if you'd like to make an admission here, feel free and yes, I do have experience being upbeat.

The problem here is that to many spend there time not waiting for SHTF but wanting it, if its going to that bad Lore than you should be digging that underground shelter about right now or at least have one, if I sound upbeat than OK, but living a sheltered life waiting for something that might not happen you have stolen life from yourself, preparing is OK but believing in it makes you do things that you might regret later.

Lore could you than tell us how bad you believe its going to be, you have stated in another post that millions will die, how ?.

Yes, there are people here as you say; can't wait for the SHTF. My advice to them is to be careful what you ask for. However, just because there are some with this attitude, it doesn't negate the reality of the problems.

I personally have already taken measured and reasonable precautions based on my own lifestyle and age. I've run for the hills, but not for the bunker. If you're waiting for a seminal moment to happen that says, let's go everyone, then you've waited far too long. As I've said else ware, our troubles are playing out in a long process.

As to where this all this leads, it will undoubtedly result in the loss of many lives, both human and that of other species on this planet.

As to the exact how, I would worry more about yourself, your children and your grandchildren. The circumstances will be different for everyone although all the dangers will be the same. Drought, famine, pestilence and war are at our doorstep. They have ever been so, except now in this day and age, there is little opportunity or the will to escape them. We’ve just lived a lifetime of plenty that made us forget

Those things you mentioned above has always been part of our World History, In the 30's just here in America we went thru the Dust Bowl and the Depression at the same time, came out of it pretty good by the looks of things..
