what I actually said, as can be seen, was
exactly so they are going to have to cut domestic water consumption,
because
there is enough water falling for agriculture, whatever sort of
agriculture
you want.

You said that some vegetables require irrigation. What would
happen if drought continues and reservoirs empty altogether?

I also said you would have to cut domestic water consumption

so they are going to have to cut domestic water consumption, because
there is enough water falling for agriculture, whatever sort of
agriculture
you want.

Yes, you just said that. The question is, *why* is this happening?

too many people, using too much energy, too much water going on washing
cars, irrigating gardens, flushing toilets, etc etc

Extensive deforestation for grazing and feedcrops affecting climate.

of course it couldn't possibly be anything to do with the vast urban
population, oh no, no way, they have to be innocent

yep, and large areas in the UK, because that is where we produce
our
livestock here, is permanent pasture because it is unsuitable
for
arable
cultivation

Arable land is, but a significant percentage is being used for
feedcrops.

in the UK a lot of arable land is incapable of growing bread making
wheat
and can only grow feed wheat, but as global warming increases we'll
probably
be able to grow bread making wheat

'WHETHER you're an avid baker or know next to nothing about
making bread, visiting the Watermill in Little Salkeld, Cumbria,
will make you want to get stuck in.
..

yep, as I said, we grow very little breadmaking wheat in the UK.

You say a lot of things. You are a veritable fount of BS, jim.

at least I don't selectively snip to change the sense of what people
write

*I* haven't snipped anything here (and when I do I indicate it), liar.

fond of that word aren't you, a guilty conscience perhaps

That is why we import bread making wheat, because we don't have the
sunshine
that we need to guarantee production

- BS. 'Only' 39% of British wheat is used as livestock feed.

exactly. And it is grown in the areas where it can be grown, the rest of
the
land is unlikely to produce bread making wheat which is why more wheat
isn't
grown

61% does.. Wheat is grown, partly as it *is* suited to the climate.

no, on the land fit for growing wheat, only 61% is suitable for bread
making. This does not prove that on land on which wheat is not grown, 61%
will be suitable for bread making

I'm glad you've noticed OSR,

What's that?

you mean you posted great screds of stuff about something you didn't
understand

No. Clearly I don't understand what "OSR" stands for.

then read what you post before posting it next time

you'll see a lot more of it when the EU turns
over 50% of our arable acreage for biodiesel

'Biofuels: Biodevastation, Hunger & False Carbon Credits

& appearing to be highly controversial in relevant circles.

But you still haven't said where your food comes from I note

Note everything you've snipped and failed to comment upon.

wriggle wriggle wriggle

You should excel in wriggling by now with so much practice.

where does your food come from

where does your food come from pearl

why are you so embarassed about its source, is it because pearl would have
to admit that it came from water deficit countries

lot of things embarass pearl, her name, her job, her diet

I bet she's not embarrassed about her looks, unlike you!
