Kerry: Starving Africa Shouldn’t Build More Farms Because It Would Contribute to Global Warming

Posted on 9 August, 2014 by clyde



Speaking at the U.S.-Africa Summit earlier this week, Secretary of State John Kerry had a bit of astonishing advice for African leaders. While noting that Africa faces a starvation problem, he also admonished its leaders not to create more farms.
The reason? Adding more farms would contribute to “global warming.” Yeah, he really said that:
“Certain agricultural processes can actually release carbon pollution and actually contribute to the problem in the first place. It’s a twisted circle. Always complicated. But we also know that there are certain ways to change that.
For example, rather than convert natural areas to new farmland, a process that typically releases significant amounts of carbon pollution, we can, instead, concentrate our efforts on making existing farmlands more productive.
Without getting into the whole global warming debate, the fact remains: it is a debate. While some data is inconclusive, other data suggests that the planet hasn’t warmed for nearly 18 years – or more. What isn’t a debate is that without food, people starve to death.
Call me a “denier,” but does it not make sense to grow more food in Africa as quickly as possible? Sure, farm efficiency is important, but with Kerry’s claim that 8,000 children die of starvation in Africa every day, should carbon really be the top priority here?
