What's your plan of action for the upcoming water wars?
Die
Same as my retirement plan.
As a Canadian: worry
Fr fr The resource paradox could fuck yall over baddddd....
Yeah bordering an underprepared but highly militarized country during a resource shortage is probably going to be a problem for them. Feels bad man

To not have children
birthrated will come back up right snd we won't go extinct in like 2456 or something
That is surely one of many issues. Some localized like water, and some will be wider like food shortages. All avoidable, but somehow not.
Once water gets too scarce it will no longer be a "localized" problem. It's necessary to survive and it traded as a commodity.
I don’t see it happening as we are entering a period of explosive progress with AI that surely will find ways to make water bountiful all over. Not a guarantee though and for sure the path to that future will have some bumps. Already has some.
Our AI overlords need that water to cool their serverbanks though, so guess we are shit out of luck on that one.

remove sea salt from the sea
