Water wars coming. The next crime wave is predicted

I recall a documentary I saw back in the late 1990s, it was some sort of bad TV special--bad in acting and producing--that predicted what the next fifty or so years of life may be like. Some talked about Nostrodamus, others just predicted based off of scientific research. One particular thing stuck in my mind: The possibility of 'waters wars,' with shortages and droughts people would be forced to fight and become adversaries just for a drop of liquid.

Parts of California only have one year of water left

MEANWHILE..

NESTLE keeps taking California water..

California couple conserving water amid drought could face fine for brown lawn

I don’t know if I have expressed my loathing of these ‘neighborhood’ rules that so many places have before.. but I do now: I hate them. Rules that stop gardening, flags, gnomes, or Santa Clauses at Christmas.. So wrong..

However: This one may be the worst. A couple conserving water is fined for a browning lawn? During a time when the West is going through one of the worst of the worst droughts of all time? 

Amazing..

BONE DRY: Experts say the water levels will be enough to supply water to places like Las Vegas, Phoenix and Los Angeles for at least one more year

Some bad news..

The United States military is being warned to prepare for a climate crisis.. The rising sea level and constantly intensifying weather is causing alarm within governments..

You may not have heard about it for quite a while, but the drought in the United States is actually worsening.. it is now affecting the US wheat crop..

More on the mystery explosion that destroyed an Indianapolis neighborhood…

Rare small earthquake off the coast of Alabama!

There have been ten strong earthquakes near Fukushima since Thursday..

Who’s mighty now?

Not so mighty: Mississippi at record lows, forces ligher barges..
Mississippi River dropping in Memphis..
Receding Mississippi exposing historic relics..

The Midwest is suffering its worst drought in 50 years.. Could this be the ‘new’ norm? Will the United States go from bread basket of the world to the dust bowl of the planet? Will the record warmth continue? More and more hot records relative to cold records have taken place for some time.. The past two years have seen many more hot records as opposed to cold records. These recent heat waves have made this drought much worse—after a winter of almost no snow in much of the United States. Global changes are in full effect. Big economic impacts will be coming this fall, expect that at a grocery store near you. The fires that we saw this year may be a new norm, too.. Earth changes will get worse and worse.. Greenland has lost 97% of its ice. Even the highest points in Greenland are melting. Major transformations of landscapes coming—coastal area flooding? worst case could be a massive sea rise? 

But planes still fly and cars still drive. If manmade impacts are the reasons for warming, then humans seem not to care. If it’s the earth itself, humans are in for a wild ride—one not seens for centuries.. 

The drought that is occurring has some ominous signs for our future.. In Illinois, people are beginning to become alarmed with just how dry and hot things have been.. The drought in the United States is also going to cause problems for China..

The drought and constant heat waves that have hit the United States this summer have been only intensifying and shows no signs of receding.. According to one report, the drought size has increased by the ‘size of Texas’..

This summer’s horrid weather will have one extremely negative ramification for this world.. for our wallets.. for us: Food prices will skyrocket until at least 2013..
