Population and food
Isn’t it grand? Our world population will be SEVEN BILLION after the weekend is gone. How are we going to feed that many people ??? Certainly not by digging holes in good farming land to make a fat profit for some greedy wealthy sods who call themselves ‘investors’. Yes, coal seam gas mining is the topic once again. The general population is constantly being told a lot of ‘untruths’ about the effects of CSG mining. They say, as do the pollies who are in their pockets, agriculture and CSG can co-exist with benefits for both. WHAT RUBBISH!!!
CSG mines cut into the very heart of agriculture, they reduce the amount of land available for growing food quite severely for a start. Then, no one knows what damage they will do to the underground water supplies we depend on, nor do they have even the vaguest idea of how long any pollutants they pour into our soil will take to dilute enough to return our water back to somewhere close to what we now have
