    Sure, I never said anything about that, only commenting against the hyperbole that there will be “no tomorrow” when places run out.

    There will still be tomorrows, people will just move elsewhere like they’ve done for thousands of years.

      Problem is, there will be less and less elsewheres where people can still live within a hundred years or so.

        Those areas, by force. Open a history book and stop trying to make political points with ridiculous hyperbole and flat out lies. People are not receptive to bad news when you intentionally and artificially make the news 10x worse by lying. Water usage is a serious problem. Yes. And there will still be a tomorrow.

      Thousands of years ago didn’t have desalination nor electricity… there’s a reason why they moved to fresh water inland.and before you jump there: desalination requires a fuck load of electricity that impacts with other issues.

      Read a book.
