Coby, I have no difficulty with Alastair's perspective on how bad
things have the potential to become.
China and Austalia have announced multi billion dollar investments in
desalination projects (coal-fired heat sources likely) to augment
diminishing water supplies for municipalities. Seems their gut feeling
is telling them it isn't going to rain enough in the long term to end
their
droughts and near-droughts.
