Hegelian dialectics at work again...or the more common never let a (created) crisis go waste.
You didn’t build that! - Oh, yes we did.
When I was a kid, I was told that I needed to eat all my dinner because there were starving children in China.
They had no answer when I asked how to send my food to China.
The water that we drink today is the same water that the dinosaurs drank 100 million years ago.

The true Science Deniers on our planet will truly deny the true implications of this true fact.
I’m still having problems with that 300 gallons a day comment.
We’re a closed loop system, never any more and never and less. I use this in my theory of why oceans rise while the amount of water remains the same.

Or it could be the same water ADOLF HITLER drank!!!!! That would make us NAZIS!!!!!!
No Flush for a week?

I heard the same stuff growing up. My reaction was: how is me eating my dinner going to help a kid in China.
Two things worth mentioning about this.
First, though they didn’t state it clearly, I think the message was that we should be more appreciative that we live in a country where food is abundant.
Second, it’s interesting that the parents of the 50s and 60s often referenced China, surely without knowing the details why. The Great Leap Forward, the source of 50 million famine deaths, was pretty much covered up by the Chinese tyrants and their western press sychophants... and yet, we knew... we knew something was wrong in that horrible place. Without knowing exactly what.
BTW, I wonder if Israeli kids are told to drink all their water because the Arab kids are all thirsty.
Oh, gee, look... another manufactured “crisis”.
Don’t worry; by next week, Natalie will find ANOTHER crisis to whine and cry about.
And another moronic liberal idiot stupid bstrd bites the dust (no pun).
Thank you Dan.
I’d bet Natalie also hates the generation of electricity, which desalination plants require.
You can recycle it quite a few times but eventually the chemical bonds break down from age and then the old, tired water ends up buried in a landfills. But old, tired water should be placed in concrete barrels and buried in a long term storage facility underground to ensure that we are not slowly poisoned by dihydrogen monoxide compounds.
Here endeth today's lesson in environmentalism. I want to believe!
I’m just curious... does she have a chemical toilet? Or just did not flush for a week?
Yeah, same here. I have a well - so no meter. Anyone check their water bill lately?
And did she send some bottled water to Cape Town?
I agree. I was trying to be somewhat satirical toward her apparent belief that if we save water, they get more in Cape Town.
My mother in law and I had a similar argument. Nestle Water built a packaging plant about 50 miles from her. There was all kinds of hysteria because Nestle was draining the Aquifer. I did a small amount of research. At maximum production, Nestle can bottle 400 gallons per minute. A fire truck can pump something like 5000 gallons in five minutes and the flow from Lake Huron through the Detroit River is 13 billion gallons a minute. 400 gallons is absolutely nothing. Then I reminded her of the water cycle and that water is infinitely recycled.
The fault in Cape Town is political. They refuse to take help from Jews. PJ O’Rourke wrote a great book called “All the Trouble in the World.” He showed clearly how virtually every single cataclysmic famine event was caused by greed or politics, not natural causes.
