![]() "pearl" wrote in message ... "Jim Webster" wrote in message ... "pearl" wrote in message ... "Jim Webster" wrote in message ... tut tut pearl 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 Say it again. And maybe some vegetable production too. thats up to the people that live there, they can chose between bathing and vegetables 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 Can't you get the simple fact that shortages are due to a lack of rain? no lack of rain up here, the fact that the SE has been drawing down the aquifers and using more than has fallen for a couple of decades should be born in mind They were running short of water before climate change became an issue. Perhaps they ought to fly less and not have cars 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 I'm calling a spade a spade. You lack all credibility. 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, Yes. Wheat and barley are the most important cereal crops grown in the United Kingdom. Production of oats and rye has declined drastically whilst a new cross of rye and wheat, called triticale, has been introduced. All these cereals are well suited to the UK's temperate climate. [..] Wheat Wheat is the most widely grown arable crop in the UK covering around 2 million hectares and producing about 15.5 million tonnes each year. Wheat is a versatile crop and is found in thousands of food products e.g. bread, cakes, biscuits and breakfast cereals. .. http://www.defra.gov.uk/farm/crops/index.htm on the land fit for growing wheat, only 61% is suitable for bread making. Ipse dixit. That only 61% of wheat is used does not prove that. This does not prove that on land on which wheat is not grown, 61% will be suitable for bread making ? read it slowly, it is all short words 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 I pity your acquaintances. You're like a bent nail. you are the one who posts stuff without reading it. If you don't know what OSR is, you should read what you post first Why is it when caught out you merely revert to insult 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 http://www.i-sis.org.uk/BiofuelsBiod...tionHunger.php & 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 so why will you not say where your food comes from pearl why are you embarassed by it Jim Webster |
