Tyler/Charles C Mann

  • Charles on the environment it’s a leap in the dark no matter what we do but then again that’s the human condition isn’t it

  • Israel = example of solving water problems

  • Tyler: is there a “fixed factor” in the global food supplies

  • Macroecon + ecology = partisan and poorly understood

  • Is nature system-based or purely instrumental??

  • Soil contamination is a huge problem in China

  • Environmental impact of meat is overstated (grain is used for multiple things)

  • “The debate is more heat than light” (!!!!!)

  • The FDA has lost all power other than to delay
