Pope blames speculation, corruption for "scandalous" food crisis

[NickB79]

9. Fucking hypocrite. What's your position on family planning again, Mr. Pope?

Ya know, that whole "condoms and birth control an family planning are bad and should be frowned upon by the world's Catholics" which is ultimately at the core of why we have a couple billion more mouths to feed than we can sustainably?

Current levels of production are sufficient, for now. They likely WON'T be sufficient for much longer, given what climate change and environmental degradation is starting to do to our farmer's ability to get bountiful yields of crops.

Current global food production trajectory won't meet 2050 needs

New University of Minnesota research shows current growth in global crop yields will be insufficient to feed the world in 2050 and identifies focus areas for closing the gap.

Oh, got nothing to say about that? Oh well, maybe next time.
