RE: Why we're running out of water
The population explosion is a big problem, but this idea of water being 'used' is an outright lie. It seems to me that those people behind this idea want to get everyone, not just bought into, but actively seeking for a price to be put on water, the same way we are now going to face taxes on carbon. There is no good reason to tax carbon, we all already pay a high price for our energy use, but that's life - isn't it? The only water that can be classed as 'used', is the water we have shot into space. Apart from that the water is still here. Perhaps the next book will be titled 'Running Out of Air'? If it is I want royalties.
