    No, you’re just clearly too stupid in history and geology to know that when the groundwater runs out, so does tomorrow. /S

      Are we resorting to basic insult, now?

      The situation is dire - for us - but the planet is not going to spontaneously combust with us on the surface.

      sigh

      I am fucking fed up with all the fucking doom and gloom every half shit media outlet burps ou, tailored to stirr panic into everyone and their grandmother.

      Everybody is a genius but nobody really has an answer to actually fucking solve anything. Everybody is acting on a pin’s head trying to discover what is going to happen next and in the meanwhile nobody can be bothered to actually do something proactively to enact change, like perhaps voting!

      Like it or not, at some point, even for preservation purposes, we will source more of our water from the oceans because it will be that or death.

      My country has already transitioned into a fully sustainable power grid, using hydroeletric, solar and wind, and plans to implement more sustainable energy sources is under way. We are also converting a refinery to produce green hydrogen and we’ve already phased out coal, with only a couple of fossil gas plants still in operation. Meanwhile, every sane person is trying their best to make their homes more efficient and even trying to be self reliant on energy, through solar and wind.

      We are facing constant droughts and dry spells and public pressure is being put on the government, regardless of color, to implement desalination plants regardless of cost so we can maintain our country alive.

      I am fed up with everyone spelling doom and gloom left and right but nobody cares to recognize the small things being done now!

      Have nice one and piss off!
