Excerpt from Chapter 3:
Sea-level rise will extend areas of salinisation of
groundwater and estuaries, resulting in a decrease in freshwater
availability for humans and ecosystems in coastal areas (very
high confidence) [3.2, 3.4.2]. Increased precipitation intensity
and variability is projected to increase the risks of flooding and
drought in many areas (high confidence) [3.3.1].
Semi-arid and arid areas are particularly exposed to the
impacts of climate change on freshwater (high confidence).
Many of these areas (e.g., Mediterranean basin, western USA,
southern Africa, and north-eastern Brazil) will suffer a decrease
in water resources due to climate change (very high confidence)
[3.4, 3.7]. Efforts to offset declining surface water availability
due to increasing precipitation variability will be hampered by
the fact that groundwater recharge will decrease considerably in
some already water-stressed regions (high confidence) [3.2,
3.4.2], where vulnerability is often exacerbated by the rapid
increase in population and water demand (very high confidence)
[3.5.1].
The Time for Action is NOW. Wake UP!!!!!!! The Time for Faith is NOW!!! Wake Up!!!!!
The first step to figuring out how to stop poisoning the world is to stop poisoning our bodies and our minds! Stop eating the flesh from physically and emotionally abused animals and artificially flavored, processed foods. Learn about natural food, stop making waste, spend time with your loved ones, and most of all, have faith. The time for action is NOW!! Remember the Golden Rule!
Clear your mind, clean out your body, and the world will begin to change around you...that change must begin inside you!
