What a bunch of speculative rubbish. Technology is advancing at such a rapid pace that problems like these will petty and meaningless by 2050. I wouldn't be surprised to find us controlling the climate by that time.

There's literally 300+ million cubic miles of salt water on the damn earth and they're worried we're going to run out of fresh water? Like we won't have the capability to harvest it from the ocean?

Technology has advanced more in the past twenty years than the sum total of the 20th century. It's impossible to tell what the technological landscape will be thirty years from now. This whole article screams of alarmist nonsense.

90% of Earth's fresh water is in Antarctica. I'm sure they'll find a way.

I wholeheartedly agree that veganism can save humanity but we're just going to keep overpopulating anyway. 1 billion people on earth don't even have access to clean drinking water as it is.

please

Doubtful. The way technology is advancing... affordable purifying salt water plants is probably going to be reality by 2035.

Besides, never trust alarmist articles like these. They're almost satirical in nature; designed to be clickbait more than anything else.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does water evaporate from the ocean to the clouds and it turns into fresh water? Isn't that how it works?

Majority of them already don't know how to.

a lot of soybeans and corn are grown in the midwestern united states. the further west you go into the united states until you get to the rocky mountains, the less rain there is, and there's hardly any rain at all in the high plains. so, they have to irrigate the crops more often even if their overall water need is low.

but that's only from a US perspective, not a worldwide one

Coconut has it all, so that

Why did I click on this thread while I'm eating chicken wings

Lucky Australia has commissioned desalination plants, so we're fine.

Vegans must be stopped at all cost.

When they say the "world", what do they mean exactly? It's obv not gonna happen simultaneously in every country, I don't think Norway (my homecountry) is at risk here, for example.

But yeah, people need to start eating a lot less meat There needs to be more awareness about this in general, I feel like no one knows how harmful meat consumption and agriculture is

I try to only eat red meat once a week. I'm not gonna become vegan but if everyone just cut back it would be good enough. To think that most people are gonna stop eating meat entirely is absurd and not realistic at all

Maybe in the US.

Bitch I been to Lake Michigan. Pretty of fresh water.
