    The total amount of accessible freshwater supply is falling because of
    climate change, which has induced drawing back glaciers, reduced stream
    and river flow, and shrinking lakes.

    Many aquifers have been over-pumped and are not recharging
    quickly. Although the total fresh water supply is not used up,
    much has become polluted, salted, unsuitable or otherwise
    unavailable for drinking, industry and agriculture.

    I think you've joined in a little late on these forums man. I hope the earth does get a lot warmer. I love fishing, I could live out my "Waterland" fantasy, and I could grow tropical fruit in Ohio!

    While it's true that the earth is getting warmer, I don't think that Waterworld would be as enjoyable as it ought to be- Sharks everywhere. That feeling of dampness from wherever. I kinda like it the way it should be- DRY.

    Desalination by wave or wind is the answer.
