eli5: Why does there continue to be water in a river, even though it doesn’t rain all the time in the upper parts?
In: 29
I hate to be the one saying this and I know I can’t be the only one thinking this; once we accept what human kind is doing to this planet we call home, we must accept that ultimately all these wars that have been fought and are currently being fought will be nothing when all of humanity is going to war over the limited amount of fresh clean drinking water we have left. With the ever growing population of the world we are going to reach a tipping point very quickly. Sure, we’ve all had hunger pains but can you imagine the desperation of someone who is thirsty? 3 weeks without food and the human body starts going through some gnarly changes, 3 days without water your going to be very desperate.
Never underestimate the desperation of someone when their life depends on it. Can you imagine millions of people days of way from dying of thirst?? How about Billions? If humanity doesn’t get its stuff together we are less than 200 years away from extinction.
