Well, now is worse because that was BEFORE we had the natural gas crisis. Why is that important?<\/p>\n<p>Natural gas is THE critical input into making fertilizer. Urea is essentially ammonia in solid state, the process of which entails reacting ammonia with CO2. And we all now know \u2014 thanks to the climate nazis \u2014 that CO2 is currently the devil. The problem of course is that with no natural gas there is no urea, and with no urea there is no fertilizer. And with no fertilizer\u2026 well, we will eat each other.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the spot urea prices.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-40093 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/internationalman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/1-3-300x119.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/internationalman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/1-3-300x119.png 300w, https:\/\/internationalman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/1-3-768x304.png 768w, https:\/\/internationalman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/1-3-600x237.png 600w, https:\/\/internationalman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/1-3.png 1024w\" alt=\"\" width=\"559\" height=\"222\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Something else that we had noted some time back (in Korea) but which now seems like a larger problem.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-au\/news\/australia\/farmer-reveals-the-terrifying-reality-of-australia-s-urea-shortage\/ar-AARGHto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here<\/a>\u00a0is an article about an Australian farmer who warns the urea supply crisis could halt normal life within weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what he says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u2018Not only will we not be able to grow cattle and we will not be able to grow food and we will not be able to grow grain or anything like that, but even if we could, we can\u2019t move it, because we can\u2019t turn a wheel in a truck because we have no Adblue,\u2019 [AdBlue is needed for diesel vehicles \u2014 half of all trucks on Australian roads run on diesel<\/p>\n<p>As of February we might not have a truck on the road in Australia, we might not have a train on the tracks.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018So quite literally the whole country comes to a standstill as of February.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The farmer then, goes on to say:<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s How the Energy Crisis Turns Into Hunger and Then\u2026 War?
