AP Climate Cultists Surprised That Water Can Be Scarce In One Place And Abundant In Others

I’m guessing none of these people have taken STEM classes, or, were taught by people who ignore science. And history

AP PHOTOS: Water, abundant for some and scarce for others, highlights inequalities of climate change

In Soweto, South Africa, residents queue up for fresh water. In a favela in Rio de Janeiro, residents collect it from a naturally-occurring small stream. And in Guwahatai, India, residents collect water from an open drain, filling buckets to the brim.

Fresh water is central to the lives of everyone, but for some, clean and consistent water sources are harder to come by. This World Water Day, Associated Press photographers around the world captured both the lengths that some people must go to source water and the relative ease for others.

Only around 3% of Earth’s surface is covered in fresh water, and much of that is locked up in ice or soil, but the sources that humans and animals draw from are plentiful and varied. (snip)

But as the world warms from human-caused climate change and environmental concerns like waste impact waterways, the availability of the world’s most precious resource is getting increasingly erratic.

In Bangkok, Thailand, garbage clogs the Chao Phraya River, where cranes atop boats help collect waste and clear waterways. In Jakarta, Indonesia, canals are littered with plastic bags and bottles that bob on the surface. And on the exposed banks of the Miguel Aleman dam in Valle de Bravo, Mexico, the ground is so dry from drought and heat that it’s deeply cracked, starved of rain.

Sounds like the first two are caused by poor government and scummy people, while the last is just a part of the natural cycles of the Earth

Even the most pristine-looking sources, like a forest lake near Frankfurt, Germany, aren’t immune to the challenges posed by climate and environmental crises, as a warming world causes tumult across the globe.

Just like always has happened. Wait till a Holocene cool period, where more water is locked up in ice. Regardless, this is a cult, so we can solve this by limiting your freedom.

Seemingly half the photos at the screed show pollution, which has nothing to do with climatic change, natural or manmade.
