Feeling frustrated

I read an article yesterday about people not believing in climate change or global warming, and a million thoughts ran through my head. First of all, how can these people not believe what is right in front of them. HELLOOOOO, climate change means bigger, meaner toranadoes, bigger, meaner hurricanes, longer droughts, horrible flooding, and any other weather event you can think of, just multiply it times 10. So, anyone hear about the tornadoes this past weekend. but I digress. I guess these people think that since climate change isn't happening, they don't need to do anything to conserve what they have. Or maybe they think if they don't believe it's true, then they don't have to change the way they do things and can continue doing things in the wasteful way they are. Speaking of, I have a neighbor that refuses to recycle....she can't be bothered. HUH?! really, doesn't her family realize that by them not recycling they are wasting tons of resources and causing tons of pollution? Seriously, if everyone recycled, just their plastic bottles, can you imagine the amount of trash that wouldn't make it to the landfills. Don't even get me started on landfills and how they are filling up at an alarming rate and there aren't very many new places to put them. yeah, wonder what happens then. So, back to the people with their heads in the sand. Even if you don't believe in climate change, lets talk about water. Yeah, I know, I've been on a water kick lately. It's been bothering me. There are already civil wars being fought for water in the developing countries. The Sahara desert is growing due to desertification because people are trying to scratch out a living on marginal land and there isn't enough water in the area to sustain their farms. Even here in the US there are fights in the west over water. Just read my last post about Las Vegas. They're just the recent problem. Southern California is another area that keeps begging for water and is looking all over the place to find it. There are lots of articles about India and the villages there that will be in dire straits once the glaciers that feed the streams that feed their villages are gone. Yeah, but climate change isn't happening. Science has proven that the glaciers are indeed shrinking, and they are shrinking fast. So, then there will be all those people without water. What are we going to do then? So, not only is the amount of fresh water available dwindling we are doing a damn fine job of polluting what we have. Think of all the stuff we put on the ground, guess where it ends up. Yep, you guessed it, in the water. And then there is the fracking to get natural gas out of the ground. They use fresh water to do that. like 30 million gallons of water to do that. And once they use the water, it's unusable for anything other than more fracking. But it isn't always reused. The chemicals that they put in the water has to be an exact mix, so they don't like to use "dirty" water, cause they have to think more and make up a new additive to put in the water so the combination comes out correct. Now, not  only are there more people needing freshwater for themselves, there are natural gas companies needing freshwater for their wells. This doesn't even take into account the agriculture and industry that will need more water to create more food and more products for the increasing number of people. Know what the sucky part is, there is a finite amount of water on the earth. Yeah, that's right, what you see is what you get, so when we mess it all up with our chemicals and overuse, we are soooo screwed.
