Water is likely to be the single biggest cause of war, famine, destruction, etc this century. Like most all of our resources, we've just assumed that water will persist in its current cycles and flows indefinitely, and that it will always be relatively clean and safe. In reality, the climate change we've triggered is altering existing water flows (rivers significantly shrink if their source glaciers no longer exist!), and at this point most water globally is at least mildly toxic. Not to mention the inevitability of global sea levels rising as the ice caps continue to melt. Which is one of the reasons I'm reluctant to buy a condo in South Beach in SF...
Hold on to your seats, it's gonna be a fun century!
