Fresh water?

Not according to many reports, It will become more and more scarce. Unless you mean there is enough fresh water if we change where we live, how we live, diet etc etc
Five eighths of the planet is water. Seeing as no-one is allowed to build a dam any more to catch n save the water that falls out of the sky. Maybe we should build a few wind powered pumping stations n solar powered desal plants. Instant water for everyone, no smelly dirty old coal to run the plants n everybody is happy coz we've saved the world

Yeah, it's a global problem. Has anyone ever said differently?
But if it's a " global " problem why the hell is it only certain countries obligation to fix the problem when there's a whole bunch of other seriously large countries don't give a rats toss bag n are determined to keep making the problem a *smile* load worse. Thereby eliminating n destroying any possible solutions those few countries actually achieve.

So when did somebody besides old Trumpster deny climate change?

you play the classic denialist position of "it's changing but it always changes, so we can't and shouldn't do anything about it."

You were wrong on bushfire evacuations, you were wrong on Coronavirus and you are wrong on this.

It's every country's obligation to fix the problem. Because some don't or some don't do it in a way that you agree with does not remove the obligation.

Everyone's obligation but there's a shitload of countries not simply doing things differently, they are actually loading up n doubling down on making things massively worse than any *smile* ant amount of " fixing " that others a capable of. Ya kinda end up like a dog chasing it's tail n never actually quite able to catch up, but the kicker is that there's someone with a club ya belting upside the head every time ya manage a rotation.

So I'm wrong that climate change has always been occurring? Don't think I've ever claimed we shouldn't do anything about it but I don't believe anything worthwhile will ever be achieved unless it everyone sharing the load not just a few handfuls of people while other countries continue to make things a hell of a lot worse. Also believe that it's far more important to figure out ways of better dealing with and adapting to climate change then spending trillions and trillions of dollars n man hours pretending that we're somehow going to stop the climate from changing.
Bush fire evacuations, meh. The Govt and media hype n saturation of mass evacuations was way over the top, they were near enough insisting that the whole Gippsland n Alpine regions should have been evacuated through all of Dec and Jan, just in case.
So far the Coroner virus has had way less global health impact than any normal flu season, it's just that everyone is having a mass knicker wetting tantrum of trying to save the world from happening.
As for the NRL Canterbury sex scandal, FMD what an overblown load of *smile*.

On that note, let's agree to disagree. Have a good one.

I look forward to your always humorous football opinions.

Again, you are yet to provide any solution or even say what action you want on the matter.

Or are you applauding the coronavirus for solving your problem?
Don't you get supply and demand? Im pretty sure you be clever enough to figure it out.

Coronavirus, you are happy about it because it shows the world as one. All the people in the world together struggling as one. Yeah for sure Its a great laugh.

And yet again you provide no solutions, actions or even possibilities about what you propose to do about overpopulation.

Because here's what all the idiots who talk about it secretly know, but don't want to say. Population numbers are not the issue. There are no actions we can take to reduce population without murder or forced sterilisation. What we can do is reduce the impact the population has on the environment and resources in general.

Simple topical example; No toilet paper in stores.

There are two ideas here.
1. We have too many people in Melbourne. We should murder half the population then there'll be enough toilet paper.

2. People are buying way too much toilet paper. We should require shops to only sell one per customer, and people to buy low responsibly.

I'm assuming you're aligning with option one.

or we can stop cutting overseas aid, every time a conservative gov needs some money, when aid has been proven to lower birth rates, while also looking to reduce the impact we have.

Ah so there is your issue.

You actually believe that buying one roll will make a difference that matters in the end.

Sure it will for you on a personal level, and to the next person who rocks up and gets a roll but you are reliying on factors that you cannot control no matter how many protests you go to. Just like i dont litter, there is stil littter. Etc etc etc. It aint hard or complex to get.

So here is what the idiots and folk caught up in the stupidity who rant about it ad nauseum dont get. Over population is the issue. Sure we can continue to become more advance as farmers, get smarter with all things we see as normal but the planet and time will eventually win.

You actually should stop assuming too. I have accepted what you have not.

If you think China cares about you cleaning your arse, you are living in a fantasy. But good luck to you its your life.
