I was taught as a kid that water would become as valuable as gold in the next 50 years, and several wars would take place because of it.

Fake and gay?
I hope so because his unit conversions are off, and I'm pretty sure he's wrong anyways.

The Israelis are already have Mass desalination (reverse osmosis) and are exporting water to their desert neighbours. California should have a desalination program instead of whining about droughts all the time
>BR scum
>calling other people trannies
He's still wrong btw it is more expensive than traditional ground-sourcing. Not sure where he gets his numbers.
That isn't even factoring in the huge amount of water that is required for the energy plants to produce the massive amounts of electricity that it'd require, nor does it factor in the remineralization of the water (re-adding Calcium and Magnesium)
Do you think 20 years from now (((they))) will still be using climate change as a fear mongering too? There's only so long until people realize it's bullshit
Look up the C40 city plans. The answer is yes
Yes.
Water shortages aren't really very involved with climate change though. They're more tied to population densities and having those populations in the wrong places.
For example, China is gonna be FUCKED within the next 10 years from water shortages.
>China is gonna be FUCKED within the next 10 years from water shortages.
Please be true.
China has 7 percent of the world's fresh water yet 20 percent of the world population.
Also doesn't help that they pollute and dam all their waterways. It's bound to happen sooner or later.

>Thinking that filtering water is hard
Literally all you do is put sand charcoal and rocks in container and let the water flow through it, then boil it. This is how water has been filtered for centuries. Some of these stupid faggots claim that we'l run out of fresh water not knowing that the "fresh water" isn't even drinkable from a heath standpoint. All water is filtered water, so at what point can it not be filtered?
Doing it on a massive scale, think tens of millions of gallons, is going to take some serious organization and money.
Still affordable though, which I think is elon's point
This is what they did in the colonial days, then then sold the salt to the native americans. the only reason they don't do this now is because of the need for volume.
Wouldn't get rid of the salt in the water
It costs $0.04 a gallon in California. So if you own a farm or large garden, it adds up.
As for poor children in Africa, the difference between $0.20 and $0.50 is huge if you're only making $1 a day. This is why it's a good idea to give them something to export to make more money.
Very soon ppl will realize that we are cooling and the winters are getting worse and soon the famines will begin.
You were taught mad max as a kid?
Now that I think about it, yes...
I was born in 93 I never had a choice but hopefully I’ll be lucky enough to see it dismantled in lifetime
Boiling is way too difficult on a large-scale. They usually use other things to disinfect such as Chlorine, Ozone, UV lights,
Also that filtering won't remove trace elements, such as in this case the salt.
Get some hardy cattle from Scotland to raise
Why the fuck would it factor in adding minerals? He clearly said desalination
I’ve been to the desalination plant in Carlsbad, CA, it only provides less than 10% of San Diego County’s drinking water. Water officials claim it’s extremely expensive to run.
water shortage is entirely due to overdrawing of groundwater resources rather than global warmingstein
That won't work for salt water
Cattle need grass to eat
Why does california keep saying it is a cost prohibitive method for getting water when most of their state is a desert and could sell it to severely arid states at a massive profit? I think he is a liar.
>mfw niggers don't realize how easy it is to distill water yourself
>then boil it
Does not work for salt water and you would have to clean it, no?
>poor children in Africa
>Africa
Africa has a shitton of drinkable water, fertile soil and valuable natural stuff. Africans are starving because they refuse to become farmers.
so is it true that nature can refill underground water?
If they made their own clean water they couldn't leech off government water.
Asking a Jew to have morals is like asking a disease to stop spreading.
Because it's cheaper to get it from a river where it's free.
Mostly desalination is used as a supplement and an auxiliary water supply.
We could potentially switch to it entirely and it would be immensely expensive but within "affordable" range. Think 10% of your income is spent on water.
Also, what's a nip doing in the us?
Nuclear power plants can create a fuckton of water AND energy.
Dunno why everyone is so scared of them.
Yes.
First the shale revolution and now this! Things are looking cheap for basic utilities.
>Why does california keep saying it is a cost prohibitive method
That is not the issue they are worried about "environmental problems" and there is realistically no affordable land to build a sizable plant on as well
I work for rich people who have said this also.
What about the water purification systems used by the military?
I don't believe it.
Try drinking distilled water for a year or two and see how that affects your health.
We need SOME Magnesium and Calcium in our diet. We can't completely remove it from all of our water.
Ever tried to boil a million gallons of water? Well California withdraws 38 billion gallons per day (USGS 2010, probably higher now)
This
would need to distill it, or add a lot of potatoes, as they're good at absorbing salt.
>He's still wrong btw it is more expensive than traditional ground-sourcing. Not sure where he gets his numbers.
Nowhere did he say desalination was cheaper you dingdong
>World runs out of waters
>Hot springs are built ontop of nuclear power plants
I don't know how the process works, but if it involves reverse osmosis or something similar then you do need to remineralize. With RO minerals are removed, so the water you get out of it will be so pure it will literally pull minerals out of your body unless you add some minerals back in.
yes but the recharge rate is well below the rate in which most areas are drawing the water at. In some areas of India they have to deepen their wells yearly because the water level keeps dropping.
Most jap flags are americans or other nations stationed there.
>things we need to keep scarce
>being produced in excess of the levels to produce a profit
NO!
>Here let me fix that data for you ameritards. You are burning up and have been for 100 years.
>Ever tried to boil a million gallons of water?
Yeah, it's how almost ALL FUCKING ELECTRICITY IS GENERATED, IT'S CALLED A STEAM TURBINE.
>Well California withdraws 38 billion gallons per day (USGS 2010, probably higher now)
Now imagine how much money they would save if they actually stored water from rivers flowing into the ocean (they can't because of the poor fish). Would certainly beat the salt dilemma.
Investing in creating a desalination industry would cost money while begging the government to drain the Great Lakes to water the guacamole plantations is free.
This is where I laugh at the bong posting pro gun control shit earlier

I’m American and I was a consultant when I lived in San Diego. I now work in public works on a Naval Base out here.
Yes, it’s a lot cheaper depending on the source. I lived in many places in San Diego, the most would cost me around $100 a month for water that was because my district was shitty, it had to bring 65% of its water from Sac/Bay delta area, some from Imperial irrigation (Colorado River) and the rest from reservoirs that’s are in decline.
I later moved out in the country in the same county that in a town that had a few creeks in it, we had a private company and it would costs me $45 a month for a family of five. Not suggesting private ownership is better, but yes, the source of the water can vary in cost when it comes to delivering to to you.
All are American, except for the Korean fag that makes those diversity/immigration threads. Pic related.
Didn’t Inconvenient Truth assert that we would totally be Atlantis by like 2014?
The failed flooding predictions are endless
wrong thread
A extinction level meteor might change the climate enough to kill us.
I think a lot of these people are just too ashamed to admit that they got tricked into buying a Prius and can’t cope
Could a global communism system kill us all tho?
Yea. I'm retarded. I'll show my self out.
As a finn, living next to Drying Russia in a country of thousand lakes, im sligthly worried.

Once a global government is in place, the population could easily be culled using chemical/biological weapons, possibly even catered to specific genome types (think 23 and Me... DNA cataloging for future designer diseases). It all hinges on how unhinged the leaders are.
just put bamboo on it ,bamboo eats the salt or some shit like that
Elon is a flat earther now and has seen his own pictures from space. He doesn’t like likes either
Desalination requires a lot more than filtering. That said, it still isn't anywhere near as difficult as it's made out to be.
Califags want to build a pipline from the Great Lakes. Fuck'em let them burn and thirst.
>tfw I own a prius, but only because I wanted to save money on gas but don't give two shits about global warming
What's even worse is that I listen to NPR a lot on the drive home from work, just to hear what the left is talking about, so everyone around me more than likely thinks I'm a raving lefty.
meh. who cares
>ameritards
>flag
Use it to your advantage if you can
>you are not helping my pseudo religion
REEEEEEE
how could I possibly use that to my advantage? The only real negative is that people I don't know or want to know think I'm some hippy.
You should soup up your Prius to be a fucking crazy sleeper car
Put a 5.6L engine in it or someshit, and just whip civicfags and suburufags
If you have the necessary props to larp as them you can do all kinds of things
Guys I figured out how to desalinate a gallon of water with only .5 cents in energy! Just try it!
The actually building of a desalination plant plus the energy costs of running it and what it actually produces vs just importing more water from elsewhere with infrastructure already in place.
A Desalination plant wouldn't be built over night either. You're talking a 5+ year project.
> pic
FUCK YOU!!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEE
Desalination massively increases the concentration of salt in the immediate area, killing off the fish.
Israeli population is like what, 9 million? California is 40 million. Our per capita water usage is far higher as well, as is our industrial, commercial, and agricultural usage. What works for them won't necessarily work for us, and even when we were in the worst of the drought, the state had no interest in subsidizing desalination plants because that would kill the global warming narrative. They would rather spend state money on illegal immigrants health and education.
