  • I see that you also downvoted my post about veganism and the cost of breeding cattle in term of water. I see a pattern there.

    You listed the same example several times, in quotes

    What are you talking about? It’s the same article about the rio grande. It’s not supposed to be multiple examples.

    not sourced links

    Paste it in any search engine, it’s the first result.

    fear mongering on the level of a conspiracy theorist

    I see your true colors now.

    Your advice of moving to the mountains, taken en masse, would just result in cities existing there…with the same source of water.

    Ridiculous, I’m not talking to the masses.

    You brought nothing to the table, you saw a post about veganism and then you went full conspiracy theorist mode. Instead of discussing the case you just went for the downvote button. I’m not wasting more time with you.








  • Plenty of cities have good access to water. It’s why most of them were built where they were in the first place.

    That’s the way it used to be.

    Take the Rio Grande:

    Water restrictions ordered in Rio Grande Valley as drought persists

    ‘The actual lake is gone,’ Zapata County judge says

    McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — The two largest cities in the Rio Grande Valley have implemented mandatory water restrictions as water levels in two reservoirs hit near-record lows due to an ongoing drought.

    Rathmell gave Border Report a tour of diminishing Falcon Lake on Thursday, and at the time advocated that cities downstream in the Rio Grande Valley should be forced to conserve water.

    Rathmell said that Falcon Lake is basically no more. It’s just an area where the Rio Grande river runs through.

    Cities will become traps. It was convenient before but now it is becoming a death trap, don’t purchase a house there, you become dependent on someone bringing food and water to you. If you are in the business of searching for a house, avoid cities.








  • Last time I checked, they gathered middle of last year to take measures for sparing water, but they eventually decided to do nothing, and instead they let the emergency measures trigger in as the level of the water got lower and reached a point of alert at the end of last year.

    Whatever the new emergency measures are, they refused to apply those themselves at the time and preferred to let the automatic mechanism do it for them. They were probably afraid to be the ones who bring the bad news to their farmers. It would be political suicide. That’s only speculation of course.


  • They should start a national home insurance and compete with the private companies.

    This won’t work. Take any US state that is not too much affected, and tell them that now they have to pay a premium to insure the people of Florida. They will never do it.

    I’m serious when I say that global warming and the lack of resources will break both the USA and China, and probably the EU too. The regions of those countries will be unwilling to pay for the others. Sweden won’t pay forever for Spain, same in the respective regions of the USA and China. Do you really see these agglomerate of people supporting each others? I don’t. The lack of food will have devastating effect on geopolitics.

    We are leaving a period of prosperity and it’s gonna shake a lot.


  • I still remember this guy from Florida in the show of Bill Maher, telling him that global warming was fake, that he could see from his house in Florida that the sea level wasn’t rising. I remember him holding Bill by the arm telling him “trust me, it’s all fake”. Dunno if he was a governor or somethin’. If someone remember the episode, please post it.

    What this clown did not understand is that the problem is not the sea level reaching your house, it’s the risk seen by the insurance company. Any climatic event added to a higher sea level and boom, your house is flooded, even if 3 days later the event is gone and the sea isn’t in your house anymore. It will happen every year, become a systemic risk and you won’t be insured anymore. Even if your house is dry 350 days a year and only wet 15 days a year. Even if the sea level is below your house.

    It has some similarities to Brexit. During Brexit a lot of british people living in Spain believed that they would not be affected by Brexit and that they would be able to keep living in Spain. Until they received a letter from the government telling them they had to leave.

    It’s all virtual until the administrative machine start to walk over you. In their case it’s a letter from the insurance. It’s gonna happen everywhere.

    Now that the insurance have lifted the taboo of stopping insuring people for climatic reason you will see more of those action everywhere. The region around the lake Mead (Arizona, Nevada, California) will become really funky in term of war for water.

    And of course the fees induced by higher premium of crops insurance will be added to the price of food. Everybody lose.
