As global warming materializes, it may be that history in the usual sense will cease.  But we can imagine what historians might write about Joe Biden in the future, if islands of civilization remain.They may argue that Joe Biden's big mistake was provoking the Russians to invade Ukraine, thus setting in motion a chain of events.  America had been warned by Putin that offering Ukraine membership in NATO was a red line that would result in war.  Just as in the Cuban Missile Crisis, Putin would not tolerate NATO weapons aimed at Moscow at such short range.But having started inflation by too much spending and too much debt, Biden needed to divert the American people.  It's easier to accept inflation if the country is at war with an enemy.  And the actor Volodomyr Zelensky jumped at the opportunity to play Winston Churchill.  Americans could watch the carnage on the evening news secure in the fact that only Ukrainian lives were being lost.Thus 25% of wheat on the world markets was taken out of circulation, as well as much of the world's oil.But demand for food and oil is inelastic, so food and oil prices soared.  Japan has 3.8% inflation, the US 6.5%, many European countries are near 10%, Turkey and Argentina near 100%.Weaker economies are going bankrupt.  Starvation now confined to a few places like Somalia is bound to spread.The evidence is unmistakeable.  We have reached carrying capacity of our planet and now face the die-off predicted in "the Limits to Growth."
