I notice that seem to have as many questions as I do, but I'm not really the one that you should be asking. That is the Chief Executive and Congress but these are so hot that they never made it to the debates. I'm interested in knowing what you think about the problems I've brought up. So far it's a little one sided and I feel like you call the tune, and I dance with an answer. The matter should cause most reasonable people to a form a position, or is everything "fine as it is"? You are not correct about the "localized effects", BTW since agriculture water use is not local but usually imported from river resources (which are concentration points for effluents). Did you not read the link or is there a fundamental flaw with the assessments of the World Bank (a pretty conservative group, by and large). I didn't agree with the rather "cheery" tone, though considering that China plans to double the GNP by 2010 and by 2050 to be a peer of the US. Per capita commercial energy usage is only a tenth of the United States' and less than half of the world average. Since they are putting out half the polutants we are now, that is about 5x our rate per person.
