?? could you provide some details about this? i thought water is a non issue because we have incredible amounts of it that just needs energy to desalinate, energy which will come very cheap in a couple of decades.
- _dain_ 4y ago> just needs energy to desalinate That's a very load-bearing "just". Germany is busy shooting itself in the head by turning off their nuclear reactors.
- n4r9 4y agoI wondered whether they were referring to rising sea levels, but then it would make a lot more sense to go to Norway.
- djohnston 4y agoI think modernised nations will be able to produce that sort of massive energy, and are also less likely to be impacted by climate change related droughts/famines in the first place. Unfortunately and unjustly it's the poor countries along the equator that are f*cked, and unless some crazy political restructuring happens these countries don't have a shot of updating their economies fast enough to desalinate their way out of oblivion.
