There are two headlines that catch my eye on the BBC website today.
This is the lead story:
and then tucked away on the side you can find this headline.
The global crisis is this:
Growing world population will cause a “perfect storm” of food, energy and water shortages by 2030, the UK government chief scientist is warning.
By 2030 the demand for resources will create a crisis with dire consequences, Prof John Beddington predicts.
I’ve written about population quite a bit on duckrabbit. Its an issue that few want to wrestle with but the fact is millions more people will die if the population on this planet continues to explode.
They don’t have to die of course. We could share the worlds resources.
But we won’t.
And that’s why the lefties who don’t want to tackle population growth are as idiotic as the pope who thinks condoms spread HIV.¬† Cause in thirty years time when we’ll have to admit that we can no longer hope to feed everyone, someone might turn round and say why didn’t we know about this sooner, why didn’t we do something about this sooner?
There’s a simple answer.¬† Because it was more important that Natasha Richardson died.
And that’s why life is so cheap, because one completely insignificant person, to anyone but her family and friends (for whom this is a terrible and tragic loss and my heart goes out to)¬† is worth more to us than the tens of millions suffering all the way to their deaths.
But you don’t need to think about it cause tomorrow Jade Goody will probably die.
p.s. I don’t blame the media, they just feed us what we want.
