(Physics) April 06, 2007 posting ... this just in !!! a recent paper published in the journal SCIENCE warns of water shortages in the american southwest (gee big surprise) but of course blames it on global warming ... here you begin to see the picture unfolding before your very eyes ... previously "global warming due to humans" was the lead story with the "secondary" implication of severe drought (and oddly enough sever flooding also ... hmmm ... with either prediction they may be right) ... but now the articles are placing the water shortage first ... the creeping crud in action ... now look at the "distinguished panels" of scientists and look at the titles ... "Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change" etc etc etc ... scientists eager to have their funding increased as they pronounce eminent doom for the planet ... and for the scientists who do not say this ... well well well ... their funding well just may go dry also ... starting to get the drift ... but at the core of this is the issue of water control and distribution ... as i keep saying ... on a planet covered with water and 95% of the water locked in ice sheets that are melting ... we do not have a water shortage ... we actually have a serious water overabundance !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so we are looking down the double barrel of water control and higher prices ... controlled from the United Nations down to your friendly local government who wants to monitor your water usage down to the last drop ... and charge you big time for it ... privatization of water ... get to know these three words cause you are going to see lots of it ... and once the corporations get their claws into the water supply ... you will never get it back ... just like oil ... can you imagine asking the oil companies to pay you for the oil they take from the reserves as they are supposed to do ???? get a clue people ... privatization of water privatization of water privatization of water privatization of water control of water and its distribution = you pay more and more control of water and its distribution = you pay more and more control of water and its distribution = you pay more and more you will never get it back you will never get it back you will never get it back are you getting the picture ??? and all confirmed by your friendly government grant hungry scientists and their institutions ... jim mccanney
