Climate and Water
If you want to get some good insights into what is happening in the UN Climate Change Conference, Ben is doing some live reporting. I’m a little concerned now that Rudd’s approach to Climate Change is not that serious, as he seems to be avoiding setting a 2020 target. Wouldn’t the perfect way to keep interest rates low, be to decrease growth through massive emissions cuts???
If anyone wants a bit of information on why we have water problems globally, this post here has some good information. That post made me think that power generation through coal and nuclear power require massive amounts of water for cooling, switching to solar and wind would help reduce this aspect of water consumption.
