A big surprise is waiting in the wings
But hey, wait, there are lots of people left on one continent. In South America, there are millions of indigenous people still alive who learned from their ancestors how to deal wisely with nature. They were not doomed to disappearance by the false promises of biotech seeds and products, they went on replanting the seeds that their ancestors had been planting for thousands of years. They had not cut down the life-saving forests to plant corn and soy beans for ethanol fuel. The continent had remained a place where human beings could still exist, even though glaciers were melting and water was scarce. The crops they grew needed very little water and also biotechnical fertilizers and herbicides had never been used. These poor farmers had never been able to afford the biotech products and now they were the only healthy farming communities left on Earth.
Final question
Will there be a way the earth can return to anything like its former and long-gone wealth of agricultural products? Healthy forests, unpolluted water, a return to a normal life where sensible people have turned their backs on the war without an end. Can we stop the destruction caused by carbon dioxide and pollution from deadly chemicals. Can we ever go back?
