  1. Its actually 7.8 billion, but your point is right on the money. 2 of the major problems are food distribution and food wastage along with many others. Where climate change is going to smash the world is in food production which is at risk of collapse. I'm Australian and we are in the envious situation that we have excess food production. We have 25million people and produce food for 75 million. We have a problem coming. Our banks are addicted to home loans and they want our population to climb to 35million then 45 then 55 and maybe onto 65 million. Even at 35 million the problem is obvious if we don't increase our food production from 75 up to 85 million then 10million people elsewhere starve. At that point there will be millions of people looking at Australia with enough food to feed 40million extra people. They wont care that its dropped from 50 to 40 they will just see the excess and jump in boats. That creates the next problem which is at the 25 million we now have we are running out of water. You see our rain fall is falling on some parts and climbing in others and when it does rain its like what happened in Europe, China and India this last week. And that's our next problem. Some of our traditional farmland that's been incredibly productive for decades is now getting LESS water. So that 75 million of food we produce is already at risk. Getting that up to 85 million so we can handle the extra 10 million people the banks want coming here and taking out home loans is a problem NOBODY wants to talk about. Like other places we don't have 1 problem we have a heap of interconnected problems. California which produces 1/4 of America's food an a lot that's exported is another major food bowl at risk.
