But you have to give them credit, like Peak Oil BS, they just keep moving the goal post out a decade or two and claim the end is near. :biggrin:

(AP) — The world could suffer a 40 percent shortfall in water in just 15 years unless countries dramatically change their use of the resource, a U.N. report warned Friday.
Many underground water reserves are already running low, while rainfall patterns are predicted to become more erratic with climate change. As the world's population grows to an expected 9 billion by 2050, more groundwater will be needed for farming, industry and personal consumption.

The report predicts global water demand will increase 55 percent by 2050, while reserves dwindle. If current usage trends don't change, the world will have only 60 percent of the water it needs in 2030, it said.
Having less available water risks catastrophe on many fronts: crops could fail, ecosystems could break down, industries could collapse, disease and poverty could worsen, and violent conflicts over access to water could become more frequent.

"Unless the balance between demand and finite supplies is restored, the world will face an increasingly severe global water deficit," the annual World Water Development Report said, noting that more efficient use could guarantee enough supply in the future.
The report, released in New Delhi two days before World Water Day, calls on policymakers and communities to rethink water policies, urging more conservation as well as recycling of wastewater as is done in Singapore. Countries may also want to consider raising prices for water, as well as searching for ways to make water-intensive sectors more efficient and less polluting, it said.

In many countries including India, water use is largely unregulated and often wasteful. Pollution of water is often ignored and unpunished. At least 80 percent of India's population relies on groundwater for drinking to avoid bacteria-infested surface waters.
In agriculture-intense India, where studies show some aquifers are being depleted at the world's fastest rates, the shortfall has been forecast at 50 percent or even higher. Climate change is expected to make the situation worse, as higher temperatures and more erratic weather patterns could disrupt rainfall.
Currently, about 748 million people worldwide have poor access to clean drinking water, the report said, cautioning that economic growth alone is not the solution — and could make the situation worse unless reforms ensure more efficiency and less pollution.

"Unsustainable development pathways and governance failures have affected the quality and availability of water resources, compromising their capacity to generate social and economic benefits," it said. "Economic growth itself is not a guarantee for wider social progress."

It call get your Drinking Water from the Ocean.  Will it cost more yes, but look at what your paying for bottled water now.  Even a cup of coffee or a soda.   I remember coffee at 5¢ and pop/soda at 10¢.

We need to lower the oceans, thanks to all that G/W.

The issue is actually very scientific and easy to understand: the biosphere is limited, and thus can only sustain a certain level of resource extraction and energy use.

The world population exists in a global capitalist system which requires increasing resource and energy use per capita, and at the same time continues to grow.

Given that, it is very obvious that increased consumption cannot continue indefinitely.

Sure, if we actually lived in a sealed bubble which we do not. Heat escapes beyond the troposphere into outer space, it's always been that way, if not, we would be living on Mars, assuming we still had an atmosphere.
The point of the article is, the troposphere has not warmed and is not warming, therefore the ground temps have not increased in the least due to Co2, which is an indicator of anteceding heat, as is ashes to fire, increased Co2 does not precede heating, rather it follows heating.

If we were still riding horses using farming techniques from 200 years ago, Libs would still complain we're abusing the earth and enslaving its inhabitants.
Proof, liberalism is a mental disorder, or more closely examined, ignorance, pure and extremely simple.

Libs, the 21st century' modern day equivalent of 60s air fern.
Remember that craze from the 50s, early 60s?

For those that don't remember the craze, the air fern is the skeletal remains of a little sea creature called Sertularia, somewhat related to coral.
Though there are some that are being sold as true air ferns, they are nothing more than a moss, which I guess is closer to the leftist variety lib, a leech making its living off the hides of others. :biggrin:

If leftists actually believed in what they say, the Dems in Congress would be communally living in a tent, donating salaries to charity, and dividing their collective immense wealth into bounty for our indigent.

Leftists instead tax us to pay for their twisted values, paying for unthinkable programs like the wholesale butchering of unborn American voters --- THEIR voters, since respectable women do not kill their young. Instead of working to better America and get back to self-sustaining, libs will instead support the lazy and venal, the double-dippers working for cash and lining up for welfare. They are parasites, and it's time to spray the DDT.
