Carbon Control Versus Energy and Food Security

200806241263 | Carbon Control Versus Energy and Food Security | / | Energy & Environment

The world can have carbon control or it can have food and energy security. The former means reduced energy supply while the latter requires greatly expanded energy supply, which in turn, for at least the next 3 or 4 decades, means substantially greater carbon expansion. A few rich nations, accustomed to energy and food security for about 50 years now, want carbon control to prevail. The rest of the world seeks food and energy security since billions of people today have little of either.

Roughly about 600 million people live in societies or polities (not nations) where carbon control is politically fashionable and 6 billion is societies or polities where food and energy security are quotidian challenges. It is carbon versus bread.
