I've been saying for some time that this is going to be the next 'issue' between Canada and the US, as water becomes more valuable than oil, etc. (I hope I'm around to play a part.) The 'thin edge of the wedge' will be residential use, specifically regarding one of the most abhorrent elements of modern North American life: the lawn.

On the other hand, we've probably only bugun to consider the possible side effects of catastrophic climate change, so who knows? Some of the worst effects are sure to be entirely man made; i.e., wars over remaining resources until population levels drop.<br /><br />Consider the effects of modern day adapted human immune systems if modern medical technologies were to be knocked out overnight. That's why I don't put a greaty deal of stock in the so-called survivalist groups, who think stockpiling canned goods and ammunition is gonna get them through the next apocalypse. We're really poorly adapted to stepping back 300-400 years overnight. Most people would probably just kill themselves IMO after a few months rather than press on through what would surely be a most traumatic situation.NowhereManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12745173041874539711noreply@blogger.com
