....sooooo, i suppose it's wrong to tell my realtor to start sussing out potential property acquisitions in Cape Town? #waytoofuckingsoon

It is only the first, it will happen again and again, even without climate change. So many people, so little fresh water.

Reverse osmosis. They live on the coast

The concentration of people in the world's cities, along with population growth is outstripping both the availability of critical natural resources and the ability to get rid of sewage and waste. We need to alter our living and working patterns and attend to the need for inhibiting population growth.

Why? I haven't heard this news. How sad.

That is frightening. I have also read things from Geologists who say that the Ogallala aquifer only has 30 years of water left.

Well that sucks for them... climate change answers are not solutions. What's noted is that they're loosing water. They're rashening water. What have they done to bring water to their city?

I think there was a saying "When the food runs out you cannot eat money".

They need a distillation facility. They were talking about putting one in California. Jerry Brown has too much vested interest in bottled water so he quashed the idea.

I posted an article that is also about Global Warming , & the big CO2 bomb that we are melting it down to . We don't know exactly what is going to happen , but it looks very scary !
"Is There A Ticking Time Bomb Under The Arctic?"

Yeah, SA is funny. There have been a large migration of south Africans to Australia in the last 30 years.

I've talked to many of them and they all say the same thing, they didn't want to raise their children in a country full of corruption and criminals.

It's no surprise that hundreds of white people are being raped and murdered by blacks in SA. Some rural towns are without running water or electricity. They have to get lorries of fuel and water to bring in basic supplies.

I mean having a known terrorist as a president probably wasn't the brightest idea but hey, at least the SA blacks got to vote.

If it isn't the whites killing the blacks, it's the blacks killing the blacks.

I'm not racist, it's just the way things have panned out. I'm just glad I don't live there.

The coastal cities are alright at the moment, but Joberg and some of the northern towns are so unsafe that people life in compounds surrounded with concrete walls, barbed wire fences, armed security guards and security cameras.

I saw this in a headline , but I didn't get a chance to read it . What are they going to do ?

And yet we allow frackers to poison our water and air. And, many more industries

Yes. This is only the beginning - much more will occur ...

I think New Mexico is going to get into another drought situation . THis town has been 60 days from running out of water more often than I want to think about
