RE: Why we're running out of water
Overpopulation is just the scare tactic that world leaders are using to try and keep more for themselves. There is no "capacity" for this planet, and our limited life spans greatly limit our reproduction rate, no matter how frisky we all get. If you're so worried about those who have less than you, give them what you have. We have excess of everything in the United States while others in the world have next to nothing. That is not overpopulation speaking. It is actually the result of greed.
On the other hand, I find it interesting that this entire article failed to outline how the corporations that are stealing and bottling water are contributing to the problem. They're taking water from this community and sending it across the nation, or across the globe. Moving it around is making water more and more difficult to access for certain areas. All the while they have nearly everyone convinced that the bottled water is somehow more pure than tap water, even though there hasn't been any positive difference. Nevermind the toxic chemicals that are in the plastic. Agriculture may play a large part, but so does this.
This study stinks of bias.
