Possibly, but what will be the next crisis. I predict it will be water consumption. It will have to be something that everyone is a part of so they can control us through our guilt. “What is water footprint?” will replace concern for carbon footprints. CO2 was the perfect vehicle because you can’t live without producing it and are therefore guilty.
Next crises? Wasn't there something recently that now in DC the chillrun were having to walk around wih inhalors...and Biden saying we should buy the Volt to lessen tornado threats or some garbage like that?
Remember in the '70's it was the coming Ice Age?
Not to worry though.......
Fortunately, water supply is a local thing. An eco-kook would really have to stretch to claim that my water use ca sues drought in Africa.
(But I'm sure they'll try.)
