Why? No one is listening

The Ogallalla Aquifer will fail in the next 30 yr from overpumping and vast parts of the central US breadbasket will be forced back to shortgrass prairie on their own. That's around the same time we're expected to hit 9 billion mouths to feed and serious climate destruction setting in.

Not gonna be much land left for sufficient crops, much less biomass plastic or biofuels.
