Every now and then I read something casually and it takes a few minutes for my brain to acknowledge the gravity of its meaning.
Like this sentence: "According to UN-endorsed projections, global demand for fresh water will exceed supply by 40% in 2030."
Global demand for fresh water will exceed supply by 40% in 2030! How is that not headline news driving a massive global effort to prevent the ensuing tragedy!?
@LALegault@rhys@Edelruth Yup. (Or the Cons will sell our water to their foreign owners for pennies on the dollar in exchange for personal wealth and a spot on a secluded high security island when society collapses into chaos.)
