Running Dry

I agree...People just don't seem to care or they are just that naive not to be aware of the seriousness of our situation. I think they just don't care. As long as their wallets are fat and they have their big house and their fancy cars, they just don't care. 2021 is NOT that far away. I try not to worry about the future. The sad thing is that the few people who try to do something positive and make a difference are highly outnumbered.

Talking about climate change, and yes it is true. that affects all human, animal, and FLORA/FAUNA on earth no matter where thou are located.

And where are they looking for fresh water? The Great Lakes. The desert southwest wants to pump water out of the lakes up here (I live in Wisconsin)--the eight governors + the premier of Canada signed a compact agreeing that they wouldn't let that happen. The southwestern states want the federal government to step in and MAKE us give them our water. For what? Golf course, swimming pools, and lawns in the d****d desert? You folsk

Hmm, pseudo-science, "theory"... seems like a lot of armchair scientist talking. (And many people who need a refresher course on the context of the word "theory" in science.) Climate change is a natural phenomenon and is occuring-- all the time. The issue here is human intervention increasing the speed of it beyond what environments and species, such as human, can cope. We, like every other bit of life on the planet, do affect climate. (If you don't believe it, get off your kiesters, brush the dust off your science book that has some hints on the basic scientific method, and do some experiments yourself.)

i have lived in various cities with severe water shortage. Mumbai, Nairobi, Mombasa ,chennai. One needs to understand that water is life. if we abuse it we will face the consequence. Population is defenitely a big problem. newer cities need to develop in the US where there is plenty of water. we certainly can build a vegas in the desert and get millions to visit.....only until we run dry!!! or we need to buy water from other countries like singapore does from malaysia while conserving its own water resourses for the future!

interesting, to bad i live 30 miles from lake mead.

think of it like this. the biggest problems we have in this world is simple over population. to many people and not enough resorces. i do belive we are speeding up the climate changes weather proves it ... its hotter in and around larger city than in the country. more heat staying. i could go on and on. onemore to think about over weight people means 1 bigger clothes A which means more material and chemicals 2 more water being used A drinking B washing clothes and themselves 3 larger materials A larger cars B furniture

all people knows what is a climate change, but 70% peolpe here in the philipines was no choice what he do about a garbage.. all school here know about the words recycle. but the materials garbage only.. the question, are we survive on that problem about the climate change? email me @ fjmicforce@yahoo.com

The climate change is happening with or without man. Better use your southwast water wisely as the great lake states have banned the pumping of water to the rest of the country. So -That might mean higher prices for your water or population control.

Carnabylane, while I'm no republican you go blaming the bush administration for this happening the last 20 years, lets be passionate, lets be vocal, but lets make sense too. I'm no desalination (sp?) expert but if the earth is 70% water, why can't we filter it to a usable level (drinking, showing etc...)?

Also a true environmentalist and global warming believer doesn't just vent their comments on some comments page, they mention to they change things. They change their friends mind; they change their families member mind, then create political petitions and make their voice heard (in a positive way) what's happening. Aside from replacing a few light bulbs and driving an energy efficient car (which isn't as efficient as my gas guzzling motorcycle) and making your opinion known (which is always 100% acceptable) what have you really done to contribute something to the issue?

And with that said I can't say I have done anything other that replace a few light bulbs and get a motorcycle instead of a car, and while I understand scope of the problem, I know for myself that I'll adapt to what changes in my environment... even if it is a hard to impossible life in the southwest.

American will lack water?It's impossible.

?????????

50% of the time I am right...Everytime.

lawns, swimming pools, fountains, and golf courses are not indigenous to the desert. water waste is water waste. Build a future that coincides to the land. Lets not be mindless and unmindful about our futures future.
This is an example, a warning, and one that can be hopefully turned around. CONSERVATE resources!! They are precious.

I live in Jacksonville, Florida, and we have what is called an "Air Index." Our air index gives a idea of the quality of our air for breathing. We never had to have an air index before we built massive coal fired electric generators, around this city ,so as to be able to send/sell electricity to "rat land" (i.e. local slang for disney land).

My advise for those around lake Mead. Stop sending/selling your precious resource to Mexico! I bet that lake would fill up in now time. It is time we understand why things are getting bleak in this country. Big government is selling our soul. We need LESS big government dictating to whom goes the water from Lake Mead, or electricity in my State. And surely the people of American should drink America's water first. Well, shouldn't they drink it first?
If you don't stop the water from leaving the uSA, you will have the water in the uSA. It is that simple folks, but if we don???t stop selling our great Country???s resources, we will run out on a local level.
