Do you think there will be a water shortage? Suddenly all the global warming scientists are going on about an impending water shortage. I would have guessed that most people could have inferred that drought and water shortage would be an inevitable consequence of global warming. Evidently not, because suddenly NOW water shortage has become the %26quot;hot%26quot; thing to talk about. Do you think that if scientists keep pushing this issue, panic will ensue?

nah...depends where you live ..in scotland it rains every day and is considered one of the richest countries in the world for water..we even share it with the english

they just want to stress us out, its all drama, you really can%26#039;t predict what will happen 100-1000 years down the road....

There is ALREADY a water shortage in many parts of the world. It just has not caught up to the U.S. yet.

this day and age we need to see results right away so until everyone is sitting there thirsty to death realizing the uptmost horrible thing has happened,we have no water, people will not be worried becuase our attention is all on materialistic things and other worries, more or less were gonna start worrying as soon as we realize that we dont know what we got until its gone

There are shortages and flooding and cold qhere hot used to be and hot where it was cold, we are in deep trouble and no amount of warnings will change some people, unlike everything else we have but ONE planet and unless we care for it we will end up extinct, before we would shrug and say: Not in my lifetime!, but guess what? It will happen in this lifetime unless we make some drastic changes, it is not only about polar bears and ice caps, it is about man%26#039;s survival!!!!!!!

Personally, I think it is a good thing that scientists are creating concerns over this topic. It makes people think twice about what they are doing, and how it may affect the surrounding ecosystem. I don%26#039;t think water will ever disappear, but I do believe that there will be a shortage of fresh, clean water in the future if people don%26#039;t clean up their act. I have been involved in several studies concerning climatic trends and global warming. If these continue, I believe that there will not only be a fresh water shortage, but also a food shortage. If this occurs, there will likely be severe tension between countries, possibly resulting in war.
