"Famines affecting a billion people will threaten global food security during the 21st century, according to a leading US scientist.
Nina Fedoroff, the US State Department chief scientist, is convinced that food shortages will be the biggest challenge facing the world as temperatures and population levels rise. Food security in the coming years, she said, is “a huge problem” that has been met with little more than complacency. “We are asleep at the switch,” she said.
Her warning echoes comments by John Beddington, Britain’s chief scientist, last week in which he forecast a "perfect storm” of food, water and energy shortages by 2030.
Dr Fedoroff, who advises Hillary Clinton, said famines that strike a billion people are quite possible in a world where climate change has damaged food production and the human population has risen to nine billion.
Population levels have already exceeded six billion and are expected to rise to nine billion by the middle of the century unless action is taken. "

Since when is anyone connected to Hilary Clinton a reliable source of information?
Firstly, famines wouldn't be such a problem if Big Argiculture wasn't decimating the food gene pool so it can make a massive profit on patented seeds that do not produce crops that reproduce naturally.
Secondly, populations that were surviving just fine on subsistence farming have been forced by Big Agriculture to stop growing food and start growing cash crops for them.
Thirdly, free energy technology THAT EXISTS RIGHT NOW could solve any and all problems relating to the environment. Most of the cost of ANYTHING is the energy needed to produce it- we could have 100% recycling, 100% environmental cleanup and 0% CO2 emmissions (not that those actually make any difference) if they would release this technology, but so far we aren't seeing jack ****.
Lastly, that same free energy would solve the water problem. Desert regions could easily be irrigated and fresh water would be abundantly available to the ENTIRE PLANET. ULtimately there would be no food shortagem no energy shortage and no water shortage.
We aren't in balance with the planet because we haven't been allowed to be; the pursuit of the almighty dollar trumps all other considerations to the soulless maniacs who CURRENTLY run this place.
The problem is there's NO PROFIT in any of that for the multinational corporations who currently have mankind by the balls and are squeezing harder every day.
So the solution to the problems that the fear-mongering, power crazy elite like Hillary and her ilk have created is not population control, it's releasing the free energy technology.
This is why, on a personal level, I do not agree with pushing NWO population control measures designed to further cement their own positions of power and luxury while millions starve and dies of preventable diseases due to unclean drinking water and abject poverty.
Citing establishment scientists who have their own fat paychecks to protect and Totalitarian New World Order agendas to implement from an article in the corporate media does little to strengthen your argument.
No offence, just my 2 cents.
