The doomsday cult just loves to create new types of doom

The world has entered a new era of ‘water bankruptcy’ with irreversible consequences

The world has entered “an era of global water bankruptcy” with irreversible consequences, according to a new United Nations report.

Do we need more than that? It’s the United Nations, who hold lots and lots of climate conferences a year, including the big one every November where 50K take fossil fueled trips to demand Everyone Else give up their use of fossil fuels and their Freedom

The global situation is so severe that terms like “water crisis” or “water stressed” fail to capture its magnitude, according to the report published Tuesday by the United Nations University and based on a study in the journal Water Resources.

“If you keep calling this situation a crisis, you’re implying that it’s temporary. It’s a shock. We can mitigate it,” said Kaveh Madani, director of the UN University’s Institute for Water, Environment and Health, and the report’s author.

With bankruptcy, while it’s still vital to fix and mitigate where possible, “you also need to adapt to a new reality… to new conditions that are more restrictive than before,” he told CNN.

And the UN would be happy to be the ones in charge of everyone’s water, you know.

The concept of water bankruptcy works like this: Nature provides income in the form of rain and snow, but the world is spending more than it receives — extracting from its rivers, lakes, wetlands and underground aquifers at a much faster rate than they are replenished, putting us in debt. Climate change-fueled heat and drought are compounding the problem, reducing available water.

Perhaps if everyone treated the water with respect and didn’t pollute it there would be no problem. Of course, the UN wants a problem, because they’re leaders in the climate cult and it allows them power.
