CNN article on melting Himalayan glaciers

Glacier melt in Himalayas will cause problems

 

CNN's article on what is a known problem among certain circles.  As the problem gets worse, we will start to see the impact.  When we already have 3 nuclear equipped nations looking at the same source of water, and blaming each other for taking it, it is a challenge.  When 2 of those countries are among the most populous in the world, it bodes for a long and challenging solution.

 

We haven't seen a good resolution in the middle east, nor do we really understand the impact that can happen going forward.  The Western world is very fortunate to be able to push this problem off for a little while.  Other regions are not as lucky.  But the longer we keep doing what we have been doing, the more likely that all portions of the globe will be under water stress situations.

 

So far, no solution seems adequate.  There is a straight-forward approach, Desalination.  But not much reserach has gone into that.  Especially not when compared to other areas of funding.
