VHEMT quote of the day...

"Over a quarter of the world's population live in these regions where groundwater is being overused,"   Canadian hydrologist Tom Gleeson told AFP in a phone interview. 

One quarter of humans is a lot.  

Yet, somehow I doubt anything will change, and continued extraction will occur until none is left to extract.

The thing about climate - changes are pretty much permanent.

Thing about human nature - "getting one over" on Nature was a great vocation for humans for 2 million years.
Now, Nature's been disrupted due to our "rough play"...

Adaptation Haiku

without water, rain
survival "our way of life"
Bible's: dust to dust

The supply chains that bring us "our way of life" are not robust.
Failure is always an option (to quote The Mythbuster's!)...
