RE: Why we're running out of water
What a load of errors. Just where are San Francisco, Boston and New York getting this water that hasn't been used before anyway? Soda straws to nearby comets?
While beef production does indeed "use" water, that water doesn't go away. Tree's "use" water too and so do the oceans, if you look at it that way. Anyone want to reduce the number of trees or oceans? But the water is still there for reuse. Yes, it may need some energy and effort to reuse that water but it doesn't go away, it is still useful. And iIt may fall on your roof tomorrow for free. If the government allows you to use it, (sorry Colorado you can't).
We are running short of CHEAP, clean water, yes. But that is much different from the alarmist tone and misleading message given here. Reading the other posts, is anyone in favor of humans anymore? Lots of humans mean lots of smart humans, who make stuff that make life a lot more comfortable, and healthy. Who wants to reduce inovation that comes from future smart humans? All these folks who complain about overpopulation are still eating food and using energy, they just don't want others to have those same blessings.
I've been and worked on water projects in developing countries, so I know there are costs to getting clean water. But it is worth it.
