He's probably right about Global Warming. We "solved" the soil depletion issue by making it irrelevant. Topsoil isn't relevant to large-scale industrial farming. Soil is tested, petro-fertilizers in the appropriate quantities are added, and voilà, massive crops. The dirt is mostly there as a growing medium. Its closer to hydroponics than traditional, topsoil-fed farming.
If we take a similar approach to GW, Magic 8 Ball says Outlook is Dim.
- ArkyBeagle 10y agoMy feeling is that we've conquered poor soil, a pauctiy of trees, bad water, airborne disease and a list of other disasters or near-disasters that would be very long. If we don't figure a way out of it, then we more or less deserve the outcome. We're simply the most recent apex species. There's no reason to believe we'll stay that way forever.
