I'm glad I'm old

The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate has issued a frightening report. Our land and water resources are being exploited at “unprecedented rates”. Combine this with the effects of climate change and you've got a situation where having enough food and water will be a major problem.

The current situation is not good as we have exploited our food and water resources so much already that a half-billion people already live in places turning into desert, and soil is being lost between 10 and 100 times faster than it is forming. More than 10 percent of the world’s population remains undernourished.
