    Default Cape Town to become first major city to RUN OUT OF WATER

    http://ottawacitizen.com/news/world/...8-ff6b5e149b6a

    Obviously very poor planning by their government who apparently had refused to declare a stage of emergency due to some corrupt politics however situations like this and other climate related crisis is something we should all be getting used to seeing more and more often.

    Climate Change and Overpopulation will make this common place as more population is displaced by growing deserts and rising sea levels.

    Sao Paulo was getting close to this last year. I bring it up because the reason was pretty pathetic. That rainforest they had been cutting down for a couple decades had historically gathered moisture and slowed the general cloud movement. So by the time the clouds hit Sao Paulo, it was the ideal time to rain. Cut it down, and the clouds just fly on by.

    Crazy. All the rich ppl there can import their own water. Cape Town is such a beautiful place.

    running out of water isn't really a result of climate change, it is just a result of stupidity and bad planning.
    welcome to the new South Africa, it’s full of stupidity and bad planning. i couldn’t think a country could sink further into disrepair but here’s proof once again of how wrong i could be.
