then they will have to cut domestic water consumption
Don't forget vegetables.. but it's all worth it.. even the heart
disease, etc.
And what about remaining native flora and fauna.. Who cares, eh,
jim.
exactly
Really? What an insane attitude. Luckily, jim's kind are in the
minority.
Most people are misinformed + addicted to fat (in this case animal
fat).

tut tut pearl

what I actually said, as can be seen, was
exactly so they are going to have to cut domestic water consumption,
because
there is enough water falling for agriculture, whatever sort of
agriculture
you want.

You said that some vegetables require irrigation. What would
happen if drought continues and reservoirs empty altogether?

so they are going to have to cut domestic water consumption, because
there is enough water falling for agriculture, whatever sort of
agriculture
you want.
Yes, you just said that. The question is, *why* is this happening?
too many people, using too much energy, too much water going on washing
cars, irrigating gardens, flushing toilets, etc etc

Extensive deforestation for grazing and feedcrops affecting climate.

yep, and large areas in the UK, because that is where we produce
our
livestock here, is permanent pasture because it is unsuitable
for
arable
cultivation
Arable land is, but a significant percentage is being used for
feedcrops.
in the UK a lot of arable land is incapable of growing bread making
wheat
and can only grow feed wheat, but as global warming increases we'll
probably
be able to grow bread making wheat
'WHETHER you're an avid baker or know next to nothing about
making bread, visiting the Watermill in Little Salkeld, Cumbria,
will make you want to get stuck in.
..
yep, as I said, we grow very little breadmaking wheat in the UK.
You say a lot of things. You are a veritable fount of BS, jim.
at least I don't selectively snip to change the sense of what people
write

*I* haven't snipped anything here (and when I do I indicate it), liar.

That is why we import bread making wheat, because we don't have the
sunshine
that we need to guarantee production
- BS. 'Only' 39% of British wheat is used as livestock feed.
exactly. And it is grown in the areas where it can be grown, the rest of
the
land is unlikely to produce bread making wheat which is why more wheat
isn't
grown

61% does.. Wheat is grown, partly as it *is* suited to the climate.

I'm glad you've noticed OSR,
What's that?
you mean you posted great screds of stuff about something you didn't
understand

No. Clearly I don't understand what "OSR" stands for.

you'll see a lot more of it when the EU turns
over 50% of our arable acreage for biodiesel
'Biofuels: Biodevastation, Hunger & False Carbon Credits
http://www.i-sis.org.uk/BiofuelsBiod...tionHunger.php

& appearing to be highly controversial in relevant circles.

But you still haven't said where your food comes from I note
Note everything you've snipped and failed to comment upon.
wriggle wriggle wriggle

You should excel in wriggling by now with so much practice.

where does your food come from

I long ago learned not to get lost in long circular arguments that
were a total waste of time. You keep trying to change the subject
and get off the embarassing issue that meat is totally destructive.


Why don't you learn to posts just to the groups yu read, and not keep
clogging newsgroups with rubbish that has no bearing on those groups?

It's a very simple proceedure, but perhaps that is too complicated for you


Pot, kettle?

You appear to post to all the groups *except* the one you read Alan.
