World water problems by 2080

From MSNBC

 

My guess is, because we've taken the longest outlook when it comes to making these forecasts on water, and climate change, this is probably on the outer edge of the situation.

 

we know the UN's report ignored some sources of glacier melt.  We know that there has been pressure to take a more conservative stance with several of these projections.

 

Let me say this, the planet itself, will be fine.  The Earth has undergone greater highs and lows in its past.

 

Humans? Not so much.

 

The global population may be decreased because of increased famine/disease/etc. 

 

Take a look at the numbers, and recognize how robust the data is.  These are the best predications we are able to have at this time.  As we go forward, we'll have better information, and less time to do anything.
