2. Everyone's talking about the symptom. What about the problem?

Are we still not ready to talk about it?

What will the water situation be like with 9 billion people?

7. OK, what do you think should be done?

9. Here's what Populationconnection had to say today

This is with respect to what the Pope has been saying-

Appreciation of the Pope’s stand on climate change must be tempered by a recognition that, as the head of an institution wholly governed by men, he has yet to recognize that, without access to modern contraception, women remain prisoners of medieval ideology.

So there's a first step. Another would be all kinds of education. Another would be income equality. It goes on and on. I think part of the problem we face is that people have images of how it would happen. But we all know how it's going to look if we don't do anything.

Furthermore, I would add that schools should teach parenting. You know how that would go over. It's all so personal that I don't see anything short of crisis before we actually start to talk and do things about the biggest problem on the planet.

4. Waiting for the repugs to start chanting "Don't Drill"

Water Scarcity Denialists are girding their loins with koch-dollars (vs. petro-dollars) to fight the concept that we have water scarcity.

Why? Because there are some big corporations that are getting poised to make mega-billions off of the drought-stricken americans. Water from a tap? That's so old fashioned. Get it from Nestles, Cocaine-Cola.

6. is there a subset of Republican Science deniers in place for this?

or does it come under the guise of "God would never let us run out of water unless the true end is near?"
