Water Scarcity
Five Billion At Risk
By the end of this century with concurrent trending in
population growth it is projected that up to five billion people could be
exposed towater scarcity. These figures are according to a recent scientific research
letter published in IPOScience (read more
above). Here’s the real scary part – that assumes that
temperature does not rise 1.5 to 2 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial levels. Guess
what? We are trending to go higher because restrictive measures are not being
implemented. The number should be
bigger!
The report referenced provides ample numerical, mathematical
and modeling analysis if you have a geeky urge. What cannot be emphasized enough is that we
are not just talking about ducks and daisies here – we are talking about the
essence of human life. Climate change is not a bad dream to be swept under the
media carpet, and ignoring it may not affect our lives, but the misery we are leaving our
children, grand children and so on, has never been imagined by any word
constructions of any dictionary on the planet.
Now, I leave you with no further words - just that thought…
