Global Alarmists (aka liberals) are causing the global food crisis.

"As has already been stated in the comments section, 95% of scientists believe in global warming." The question is not whether scientists believe in global warming (aka climate change), its whether they believe in man made global warming. That statistic sounds about right. I tend to believe the earth is warming (even though there has been no increase of temperatures since 1998, and that 2007 was the coldest year in the last decade). I really dont want to get into a debate over whether man made global warming is legit or not. http://theglobalwarmingtruth.com... http://acuf.org... "Those are news articles about a food crisis. As you can see, they've been happening since the mid-1940s, decades before anyone started talking about global warming. This problem has been around for decades. You can argue that global alarmists are making the problem worse, but you can't argue that they CAUSED it. Since this resolution argues that they caused the problem, you must negate." I agree that food shortages have been happening for the last half-century, but the recent food crisis of the last 5 or so years has been drastically worse (notice the riots and deaths over food shortages in Haiti and other countries). I attribute this VASTLY to the global warming alarmists, who are apparently more concerned about the sun than they are about the people. "But, continuing, what is causing this problem? Like I said, it's simply scarcity of resources versus overpopulation." The problem is that governments are using the battle cry of global warming hysteria to subsidize and take over the wheat and corn fields, driving up demand and prices in food, ALL IN THE NAME OF GLOBAL WARMING. "Look at resources such as oil and food. Now, we have a scarcity of both. However, if we try to fix one of the problems (scarcity of oil), it winds up making another problem worse (scarcity of food). This is basic economics. It's not the fault of anyone in particular, it's simply trying to find a balance, which should be our goal." The problem I have is that we have an abundance of oil in the United States that the libs in the senate are blocking from the oil companies. ANWAR, the Great Lakes, off the coast of Florida, and now in the northern sheets under Montana and North Dakota, there are BILLIONS of barrels of oil. Yet the lib senators and congressman continue to block the oil companies from drilling in these places. If you take a step back and look at it, liberals do not make any sense at all on this entire issue. My friend Mason, a former lib, said it best: "Hippie freak environmentalist nut jobs are going to kill us all. Pull your head out of your butts and start to use your brain. Drill the oil that has been placed on this earth for us to use you stupid liberal idiots. Global warming is a farce and you are all being duped. What is it going to take for you to realize this? We are not bigger than this world. The next time you are in an airplane look down on this world and notice how miniscule and meaningless we are to it. We are not as important and influential on mother nature as you think. We are nothing but a little species out of millions on this earth. Everything goes in cycles and the planet has an uncanny ability to repair and regulate itself. My god you dumb a** liberals will cling on to any cause pressented to you because you are ignorant and unable to think for yourselves and come up with your own conclusions. I SHOULD KNOW I WAS ONCE ONE OF YOU!!!!!"
