How will they kill us?

[Sharon Ebanks]

Global overpopulation is killing the planet. People appear oblivious to this. My question is, is how will they kill us, or will they just wait until the water dries up?

A few years ago I used to think governments were waging war for oil, I now know its all about the fresh water supply. It will run out unless a mass culling happens...

Well that's cheered me up no end.

I used to have a conductor on my bus who was very smart,she learnt fast and soon she had fleet of her own buses with her own conductors.She is looked upon as royalty now in certain circles.

No need for them in the area of the European Union. Merely leave and make more sensible local arrangements according to requirements.

Thames Water Desalination Plant

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The first water desalination plant in the United Kingdom, the Thames Water Desalination Plant, or Beckton Desalination Plant, has been built in Beckton, east London for Thames Water by Acciona Agua and was opened by HRH Duke of Edinburgh on 2 June 2010. It is the first plant of its kind to be built in the UK and will provide up to 150 million litres of drinking water each day – enough for nearly one million people – making the prospect of future water restrictions less likely

The problem with desalination plants is that they require significant energy consumption to operate and in a world of diminishing finite energy resources, the desalination plants will not be able to produce enough water for all, nor will they be able to go on producing fresh water for ever, as sooner or later spiralling energy costs will make water production prohibitively expensive.

Desalination is greening the deserts and will open up vast areas of once non-arable land to peoples in these regions and so desalination will be a large part of the future greening of arid regions. We have a desalination specialist in the family who travels the world working on this aspect of water use and so we can expect it to increase and produce results that could transform once arid areas by artificially changing them and climate could be affected and rain might return. Areas that are greened can produce their own rain formation. It has happened in the area where I live. Large scale greening of suburban landscapes over time has resulted in certain once drought stricken areas being able to create their own convectional showers. This has altered the ecosystem and biodiversity as well. When I was a child these areas were quite arid, now they are lush. Intelligent use of indigenous pants makes this sustainable and improves and maintains biodiversity.

What you overlook however Dee-Dee, is that water desalination is not an energy-free process and as oil and natural gas run out, so desalination plants will grind to a halt, irrespective of the marvelous little 'ecosystems' that will have been created where they exist in the meantime.

There will be new sources of more efficient energy from nuclear fusion and other discoveries to power them. Just because oil and gas are finite resources doesn't mean that no one has considered what will happen when they run out. The same places that use a lot of desalination also have a lot of wind and solar potential. Life and civilization will continue but our enormous threats will come from volcanic eruptions. These will be devastating and are capable of wiping out not only human populations but everything else in their path.
