Re: Climate Crisis Truthiness ... misleading frame (4.00 / 3)

Granted it is still a niche market. But if the FAO is to be believed -- and why not? -- there is a growth opportunity to travel to various parts of the world and watch people starve to death. Think of the thrill of sipping champagne and eating pate while outside your window you can see:

With the right 'package' you can even watch desperate people fight to the death for the last scraps of food.

And blah-blah-blah ...

Over the top? Not really. That's how Climate Change will be affective wherever people are dependent on subsistence agriculture for their food supply.
