    Think of the people in the world that are just getting by with just enough food to surive. If there were artificially made more expensive by world requirements on emissions and energy usage, this would make the things the poorest need too expensive for them to get and a simple drought would push them into starvation.

      You have yet to describe a mechanism by which their food prices would rise.

          I’ve explained how food should remain available and well priced. All you’ve done is make general assertions. Hand waiving isn’t going to to do it when we need to be acting.

            So then that is a “no” you dont understand. Sorry dude, there are too many gaps in your knowledge for me to explain this over the internet.

              Rght, because we’re 5 years old and you know but you just need me to prove I know by saying it first right? It’s just too big brain for someone conversant in international economics and politics. I understand, I’d need 10 Phds just to start getting your concepts.

                Its not a hard concept that if you eliminate things you are able to use, then things will get more expensive. But if you dont understand that, then I am not going to teach you how it all works over the internet.

                  Yes you’re talking about a supply problem. The thing is I explained why there is not and will not be a supply problem in food. There are causes and effects, and while the price of something heavily restricted, (like meat), would rise, the cost of something produced more as a result will fall.

                  See? Economics 101 is easy to explain.

                    You are just using the view of the western world that has an abundance of everything. In the less developed world its not a matter of “not getting to eat as much meat”, it will be them starving to death because they cant get supplies.
