I love George Carlin logic. He was very smart and changed some of my views when I listened to him. I'm not sure I totally buy all the science behind global warming, but we are going through mild weather changes. It seems like the politics of the matter revolve around we may not be the cause so why take on financial hardship v. save the earth. People need to worry about saving there own asses, because this is a fickle environment we live in that could flip the switch on our species really quick. People often are to arrogant to think that way. Common sense approaches and inventions to make sure we can survive in a slightly different climate while trying our best to preserve what we have should be the order of the day. Now if we could just get china to buy in. It's like the lets all not shop at walmart mind set.

A water shortage in the desert??!!!! No way that could happen.. I work with water and the word is water pipelines are going to be more important than oil lines in the near future,around desert cities of course, south Louisiana is due for a flood anytime
A lot of the Indian reservations out West have been selling their water rights to cities for years. I took a class in Indian law in law school and if I remember correctly, their rights to water are superior to others as long as the reservation was created before someone else tries to claim the water rights. The idea was that reservations need enough water to make them self-sufficient farming communities; what they actually do with the water is up to them. I wouldguess something with these laws will be changed in the near future, or Indian reservations are going to wield a lot of power when it comes to water rights

Most of these cities are near or in the desert.
Water shortages are real....in the desert.

There is no problem. Isn't California along the Ocean? Wake up man, an ocean is water. This is just some liberal agenda to scare you.
You can use that water for crops and for washing dishes and stuff. Plus you could EASILY refill a river with it. And who is it gonna hurt? Some Asian country's beach is now 20' bigger? Waaa, waaaa.
You people got to wake up. This is the problem with the liberal agenda of today. They don't think!

Global Warming? No.
Water Shortages? Absolutely.
Water shortages are very real and have a clearly defined negative impact, global warming is a huge toss up.
Global warming is a problem where scientists cannot fully agree that it's occurring, what is causing it, how to prevent it, and whether or not its effects would even be positive or negative to human kind. Yet somehow, the solution is always the same, more taxes, more government control, never mind that the world's most heavily government controlled economies are the world's worst polluters.

Water is not disappearing...it still exists somewhere on the earth. Filtration systems will be huge money one day...

That pretty much sums up any government, at any level, solution to any problem.
Eta: man, if I could invent a cheap way to remove salt from water ... Wow!

Global warming is such a threat that it doesn't even have to exist to be dangerous

But think of all those poor unfortunate souls who won't be able to play on a putting green in the world's biggest sand trap!

Climate change? Probably just normal fluctuations in temps that people over exaggerate. Don't know the July records but this is one of the coolest ones I can remember.
Left leaning news outlets post high averages only. They write about how bad some disaster are or will be .... some of which never happen. The researchers that report how bad it is and will be get their pay check from grants only made possible to report how bad it is and will be.
Meanwhile predictions from 10 years ago and before haven't come close to being true.

Global warming is about money and has very little to do with climate

Water shortages are real until the market drives the cost up enough to where reverse osmosis (saltwater) becomes viable.

I think it's somewhat exaggerated since I think humanity as a whole is going to be fine, but I do agree they're happening.

Already used up a lot of our aquafiers. Wars will be over water in the future.

All those baptisms are wreaking havoc on the water supply and votive candles are causing global warming.
