GLOBAL WARMING - FOOD AND WATER SHORTAGE DON'T FORGET TO ADD A COMMENTAT THE END OR
GO THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN TO SEE WHAT OTHERS HAVE WRITTEN
WE ARE CARETAKERS OF THIS EARTH
IS THERE A SHORTAGE OF FOOD AND WATER? Is Global Warming creating a shortage of food and water. There are two ways to answer this. One talking about the natural effects that effect our food and water and the other talks about the problems caused by human's trying to fight Global Warming.
When the earth heats up, the crops and water supply suffers. The crops need more water and if not given it die from the heat. The crops feed the people on earth and so a natural decrease of crops adversally effects our environment and our people. More water is being drunk by humans, animals, and plants at a higher rate when the earth heats up. This creates a higher demand for clean water and yet there is only enough to go around, until it runs out.
The shortage that comes from the human race trying to stop Global Warming actually can create a larger problem if mishandled. For example, Ethanol is one fix we as humans were using to stop Global Warming and yet we mismanaged the production. For one, we chose the wrong plant to make ethanol out of since it takes one gallon of fossil fuels to produce one gallon of ethanol, which is accounted for through fertilizers, prows/machinery to plant and harvest, transportation before it becomes ethanol fuel, and many other sources. The second problem is the mismanaging that we have experienced. Too many crops were converted to corn and prices for all other crops have skyrocketed. This has caused higher prices and starvation around the world. These are not exactly adding to the problem of Global Warming but to the human race who are the reason we are trying to fix the problem of Global Warming. It is not worth it if the human race suffers and in exchange the earth suffers as well. This is only one example of solutions we thought we had that would help solve Global Warming, instead have created a shortages, as well as other problems with food and water. Stated again this is another problem created by Global Warming and amplified by humans directly.
