Huh? Why would there be a water shortage. Not only have I never heard of any kind of consensus belief of a water shortage, but considering the advances in desalinization technology, it's patently absurd.

AlexM - I suspect you don't know very much about desalinization.

Why do so people choose to stick their heads in the sand over this issue. Nothing to see here, everything is okay. It's because they want their little world, which they attempt to model after an NBC sitcom to remain unaltered.

Yep, asking for evidence instead of propaganda is sticking one's head in the sand. All I want it people to provide me with facts. Is global warming really going to affect the world's water supply and are advances in desalinization not likely to be effective? Fine, I'm ready to believe it, but you have to provide evidence. Did I ever say "nothing to see here, everything is ok?" No! I don't know if everything is ok or not because every time I ask for facts on the subject, the people on both sides of the issue instead shower me with propaganda. Then, when I point this out, they get all flustered and start insulting me instead... like your post.
