We only have a million gallons a second or so pouring out the mouth of the Mississippi.
The only people I know with serious problems are those building heavily is arid areas like the Southwestern US or growing crops that are more water intensive (corn) for the areas waterfall instead of other grains.
So, unsustainable development and usage patterns will need to change...but the premise we might run out of fresh water is hyperbole.
Nope. The water table nationwide is lower than ever before. The water table is where many people draw their water from. Hyperbole...your new buzzword for disagreement, you're a smarty allright. mathguy Yeah, they'll just pipe more water from lake michigan to the southwest, that makes sense!
I color coded my reply to your hyperbole disagreement.
Ironic you should refrence a movie that has such a police state, "one world order" theme to it.
No doubt the Obama team has watched on their movie nights together and been inspired.
Yeah, when this happens, they'll be in your neighborhood first looking for you.
Here's a couple of my thoughts:
Global warming is happening, my question has always been the human input. I also wonder what the Neanderthals thought when the glaciers started to melt. And I look at the warm spell around 1000AD until 1350 or so (my dates might be off a bit since I'm working from memory) or the Little Ice Age in the 1800s.
I agree with Hombre on aquifer depletion. Depletion of the aquifers is directly laid to population increase on the West Coast (people living in what essentially is a desert in LA) and the massive irrigation in the MidWest depleting the Ogllalla Aquifer due to large scale agriculture. But that area also happens to be our breadbasket. That depletion is happening in my area also: the neighboring county (Charles) is predicted to deplete it's share of the main aquifer used by 2020, yet residential construction continues apace. My town is on public water but the unincorporated areas are on individual wells and every house has an outdoor sprinkler system. The houses that are more than 15 years old are now suffering well failure. My flower gardens are about 95% native plants and my wife and I get a lot of criticism for it (we have very little lawn, mostly flowers). What's funny about that is that people are starting to copy us-flower garden instead of grass in the front yard, native plants, trees, etc.
To all the Global Warming believers out there...After all the recent fraud falsfying and hiding data why do you still cling in believing in a Hoax...
Is it that Mother Nature promised you all 70 virgins in the after life...
If some conservative had been the one to bring this out instead of Gore the left would have jumped all over this as a fraud. they'd have all of these emails on the evening news every night until we knew everything....
Anybody seen that happen yet??
