if there was seriously enough proof that global warming exists, there would be companies buy land near glaciers and creating trenches to divert melting water into a lake that would give them fresh water they could sell and would prevent sea lvls from rising. the fact that no companies are doing that tells me, no successful companies beleive global warming is a threat.
why would a company do that when it's cheaper to dig a hole to an aquifer just below your house? -.-
there is supposed to be a fresh water shortage in the near future. Allowing the company to control a large supply of the scarce resource.
it would also give the company incredably good publicity.
the amount would be much greater then taking water from the water table.
It's still cheaper to simply dig a hole and draw it out. Also our demand for water is supposed too stay pretty stable as we become more efficient in our technologies. At least in developed countries. Also the industry seems to be moving towards more efficient distillation technology. The benefits are obvious over trying to draw water form the glacier which would have many logistical hurdles to overcome. It's easier to drop whatever you need near an ocean and get all the water you need.
CA needs to make more water. But ecology requires we fight urban sprawl by packing people into dense urban areas. It also means we don't build "failed" technolgies like coal and fission to fuel them or generate fresh water. It also means we don't destroy pristine wildlife areas with renewable energy production.
How do we succeed then?
Simple! We don't, and that is why Ahnuld is over there telling you how great we are instead of stuck on the phone arguing about it in sacramento
