AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the impact of climate change on global food production. While some assert that climate change negatively affects food supplies, evidence suggests that world food production continues to grow at a healthy rate year after year. The term "healthy rate" is debated, with questions raised about whether this growth is sufficient to feed the global population, especially given the millions of people facing starvation. Some argue that starvation is primarily a result of political issues rather than a lack of food, pointing out that there is more food produced per capita than ever before. Concerns are raised about media portrayal of climate change's effects on food supply, with claims that instances of drought and bad weather are misrepresented as being solely caused by climate change, despite such events being part of natural climate variability. The conversation also highlights the need for specific evidence and clarity in claims regarding the relationship between climate change and food production.

According to 'climate change theory' fod supplies are being hit by the change in climate however year on year the world food production continues to grow at a healthy rate.


Does anyone here believe climate change has or will effect food production?

If so can you produce some evidence to back up your claims?

How do you define healthy rate? Enough to feed the planet?

There are millions of people starving. Some of this might be distribution but some of it is a lack of food available.

Well I mean more food than we used to.

There is not food per capita than ever yet some are making out there is a shortage.

Also why are prices so how when we have more food per capita than ever in mans history?
 
There's more than enough food produced to feed the planet. All starvation on a large scale in the modern age is politically caused.
 
but how can the press (newspaper TV news etc) get away with the lie that climate change is effecting the world food supply when all the evidence says otherwise?
They pick one drought or bit of bad weather and make out that it is cause by global warming when in reality droughts and bad weather are a normal part of our climate.
They are even recorded in the Old Testament! I guess the donkeys and asses were producing too much CO2.
I mean I hear this stuff from the so called experts.

(PS I can produce plenty of evidence to show a health growth in the food supply despite 'climate change'.

So what is happening to all this food that is not being eaten? Is it just rotting?

But have you made your case? For example, who says that the two claims are mutally exclusive?
Perhaps there is healthy growth, yet climate change is dramatically affecting the production of food.

Does 'healthy growth' mean all the time, everywhere, feeding everyone? Does the affect on climate mean all the itme everyhere affecting everyone?

You can't boldly claim they're lying until you address exactly what they're claiming. What exactly are they claiming? You can't expect any answers from us until you quote the claim instead of a vague generalization by "the media" without context or specifics.
