1) Wells ftw

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2) Scientists are baffled morons

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3) The human mind thinks he knows everything but he doesn't.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4) There's been enough water to last thousands of years, dont know how 73 years can change it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5) I say, don't worry about water shortages until we can finally understand the whole meaning of this, when the world is closer to 2080.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Uhhh. Sigh. Youv'e made my brain hurt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1) You can't put wells everywhere and they are completely useless to water a city.

 

 

 

2) No they're not.

 

 

 

3) At least other people on this topic and others in the world have an interest to help find suitable drinking water sources.

 

 

 

4) Yeah.. Why don't you come to my country, the driest one on the planet and see what our dam levels are at. In 73 years, if current trends continue, we will run dry.

 

 

 

5) Yes, good idea. Lets wait untill 4 million in Sydney, 3 million in Melbourne, 2 million in Brisbane and 1 million in Adelaide have had to move to north western WA and resettle where they have been having record rainfalls i.e. wait untill our countries economy, inferstructure and way of life completely die.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, but what if the current trends in Australia don't continue? What if the rate it's going at now changes? What if? Scientists said at the rate it's going now, not if the rate changes. Anything could happen. The water nuke could be dropped on Australia. Maybe the dams would come back. Maybe the whole world will be destroyed by then. Who knows? Noone. Scientists still claim they are predictions. Unless you have a time machine and have gone to the future you can't actually claim that it's true.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So you're basically saying that we should sit around on our hands, with the possibility that things will not change and when the outcomes I proposed do happen, we just say "but there was a chance it wouldn't have turned out like this, we were just hangin out for the rain!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Give me a break mate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prevention is needed if we want to survive a catastrophe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I never said anything like that.

I do not belive the world is running out of water. why? Because when you relieve yourself of that water it is put back out into the air which is then brought into the sky and cleansed then poored down as rain into resouvars. The world is covered in 3/4ths water, we are not going to run out of water anytime soon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But I am all for it, as long as the water is clean. :

Ok, this is slightly annoying as you obviously dont live in the driest country on the planet - Australia - but I'll try and educate you a little.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here in my home city Brisbane, our dam levels are at all time record lows of around 20%. Added to that, this city and surrounding areas are at record levels of population growth. Now luckily our premier has balls and has said that we will begin recycling water by the end of 2008. Why do we need to recycle water so much? Because it has been almost 500 days for us without significant rainfall in our dams and without significant rainfall, we will likely dry up within 2 years. An area with a population of over 2 million people drying up. Scary huh?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's a real issue here, an armageddon scenario which leaves most of the public very water concious and the really keyed in people quite scared.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now some places in the world have no water problems whatsoever. Some have record rainfalls or even floods. Some places (where I live) are drying up at an alarming rate. That's the nature of climate change and there are no easy solutions.

Guess what? Doesn't matter if people like it or not, we are going to have to start recycling water soon. Or else.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The facts: We have 20 years of clean water left. And in 15 people will start fighting over it. :ohnoes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fact: Global warming is causing water to evaporate at a faster rate than ever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Therefore: We are running out of clean water.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Solution: Purify the water.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last year, I think we were down about 30ish feet of rain. And several small ponds in my area dried up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah, I also heard (from National Geographic) that we have 10 years to reduce carbon emissions by 75% or global warming will become unstoppable.

Good to see you support it. What country do you live in and do you have water problems there?

guys its okay, we'll already be cooked alive and dead by 2050, so no need to worry
