Water shortages are likely brewing future wars — with several flashpoints across the globe

6 comments

1. We’re all doomed.

2. The sustainability of water has become an increasingly urgent global challenge. It is estimated that half of the world’s population already faces severe water scarcity during at least part of the year, while data published last year by the World Resources Institute warned that a staggering $70 trillion — or 31% of global gross domestic product — could be exposed to high water stress by 2050.

3. Something to pay attention to and start talking about in the real world.

4. Maybe instead of oil pipelines we should have built water pipelines.

5. Mr Obvious I never made the connection.

6. 1800 gallons per lb of beef. 60% of global agricultural land is used for cows. All warfare is class warfare.
