Another speculation I have been thinking of is what happens when clean water for drinking becomes rare? or even low? We need clean drinking to survive, with the planet heating up there could be problems in the future!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Desertification is a problem we will face when water dries up in locations with high populations, loss of fertile land for growing crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ecosystems collapsing as rivers and lakes and even seas dries up<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Food shock, loss of fish in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Waterborne diseases due to low levels of fresh drinking water<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Malnutrition and hunger<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heat stress and dehydration<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Water Wars for the remaining water supplies <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Water theft and sabotage<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phycology stress <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are to name but a few problems we will discuss in the upcoming blogs. Humanity faces a lot of challenges. Will we adapt to them or fade away? Why try and speculate on problems facing humanity and join in the speculative way of thinking about the future? Is water more precious than we give it credit for??? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
