Yet another tragedy of the commons.

It is a good thing the planet is warming because then we will have longer growing seasons and more arable land so that food in Canada, Russia and the United States can supply the rest of the world.

Access to oil and other energy reserves is going to seem like a tremendous luxury in comparison to water and food.

The sky is falling. A piece of it hit me on the head this morning on my way to work. I'm sure it's GWB's fault. He should do more to stop it.

Water is more valuable than oil and people will pay dearly for it.

When the water supply gets to a crisis point, it'll all be America's fault, of course... especially if a Republican is in office.

This will be headed towards resolution when China brings their vastly expanded atomic energy capacity online over the next several years, along with Three Gorges, providing power for desalination.
