U.S. cities running out of water

The ten great American cities that are dying of thirst

I hate to say I told you so (so I won't, but I'll probably have a chance soon): the article above has a list of 10 major cities in the U.S., not some Third World dry desert country like Yemen, that will likely face water shortages and water restrictions, if they haven't already -- and most of them have. The problem with water globally will likely focus the world's attention on the main ecological, environmental, and climate problem that the world faces: to whit, and simply, too many people living on this planet. Too many people, too few resources. And this simple equation will continue to take a bigger bite out of our collective lifestyles with each year the population grows and the world's governments do not come up with a collective way to make our collective existence on this planet sustainable.

And I don't think the Tea Party Republicans have a clue about how to do this.
