Up to 75% of the world could be facing drought by 2050 – BBC News
Levels of water scarcity in major economies such as the US and China are soaring, with world annual water use rising by billions of cubic metres over the last century.
The British Standards Institution says that without action, 75% of the world’s population could be facing drought by 2050.

Tech Now’s Paul Carter finds out how technology powering advanced prosthetics is also helping train humanoid robots.
The Ability Hand is a special piece of prosthetics technology, with two ambitions running through the same piece of hardware.
One is to give somebody their grip back. The other is to take what that person’s hand already knows – and teach it to a machine.

AI can always be controlled, the president of encrypted messaging app Signal has told the BBC.
Meredith Whittaker said fears that AI could become conscious and take over were “not anchored in science and evidence”, warning instead about the dangers of using the technology in military decision-making.
The former Google employee said AI could “supercharge mistakes” and reflected on her role in opposing the company’s involvement in a US military drone surveillance project.
Speaking to the BBC Global Women, Whittaker also questioned who gets to shape the future of AI, criticised the concentration of power in Silicon Valley and explained why Signal would leave a country rather than compromise its users’ privacy.

Developer Moonshot is conducting an internal review after researchers were able to persuade two of its popular Kimi models to tell them how to make biological weapons and carry out assassinations.
Mindgard, which tests the security of AI systems, told the BBC it discovered in July that Kimi K2.6 and K3 Swarm could evade safety limits put in place by developers.
It arose during a process called “jailbreaking”, where researchers use a series of complex instructions to see if AI tools ignore guardrails – which Mindgard said should have stopped Kimi from discussing concerning topics.
Moonshot told the BBC it welcomed third-party input “as a key pillar for building better and safer AI”.

Climate change is YOUR sin: pay climate taxes, accept government controls, lower living standards, give up your liberties… you want to save the planet, right?
Along with fear, a sense of guilt is a big motivator.

Another piece is added to the puzzle. The Great Reset starts around June 1, 2030. Then society, will collapse in on itself, around June 1, 2040. By June 1, 2050, 3/4 or 75% of the planet will probably, be bone dry. What is gonna be our response to this drought? We'll have to dig deep to find water in the future. Engineers, technologists and others; are going to have to build desalination plants, all around the globe! Humanity won't survive without them! Without that, there will be massive famine, starvation and death. It's going to be apocalyptic!

There is no objective observational evidence that we are living in a global climate crisis.
The UN's IPCC AR6, chapter 12 "Climate Change Information for Regional Impact and for Risk Assessment", section 12.5.2, table 12.12 confirms there is a lack of evidence or no signal that the following have changed:
Air Pollution Weather (temperature inversions),
Aridity,
Avalanche (snow),
Average precipitation,
Average Wind Speed,
Coastal Flood,
Agricultural drought,
Hydrological drought,
Erosion of Coastlines,
Fire Weather (hot and windy),
Flooding From Heavy Rain (pluvial floods),
Frost,
Hail,
Heavy Rain,
Heavy Snowfall and Ice Storms,
Landslides,
Marine Heatwaves,
Ocean Acidity,
Radiation at the Earth’s Surface,
River/Lake Floods,
Sand and Dust Storms,
Sea Level,
Severe Wind Storms,
Snow, Glacier, and Ice Sheets,
Tropical Cyclones.
@OldScientist

There is no climate crisis.
The UN's IPCC AR6 report, chapter 11 'Weather and Climate Extreme Events in a Changing Climate' summarises the fact that certain severe weather events cannot be detected as increasing, nor attributed to human caused climate change:
Pages 1761 – 1765, Table 11.A.2 Synthesis table summarising assessments
Heavy Precipitation: 24 out of 45 global regions low confidence in observed trend (12 medium confidence, so 50-50, toss a coin), 43 out 45 low confidence in human attribution.
Agricultural Drought: 31 out of 45 global regions low confidence in observed trend
(14 medium confidence, so 50-50. No high confidence assessment). 42 out 45 low confidence in human attribution (3 medium, no high confidence).
Ecological Drought as above.
Hydrological Drought: 38 out of 45 global regions low confidence in observed trend.
43 out 45 low confidence in human attribution (2 medium confidence, no high confidence).
So the IPCC are saying we didn't cause droughts and we didn't make it rain. How surprising!
@OldScientist

Yet another piece of propaganda from Auntie Beeb.
How about a quote from the UN's IPCC AR6?
"There is low confidence in the emergence of drought frequency in observations, for any type of drought, in all regions."

Why don't government invest more in vertical farming and expand it.
It produces more crops with less space, little to no need for pesticides, fresher food when it's local green which means reduced transportation costs.
Uses 90% less water than conventional soil methods.

Are people really willing to decrease their standard of living dramatically to save the environment? There is no really no need for me to answer that one – it is obvious, however much they may say otherwise. It is far, far easier to talk about saving the environment than actually doing anything about it and the amount of hypocrisy from
People about it is astounding.
@olivergrumitt2601
January 10, 2024 at 11:43 pm
These wasteful water practices have gone on for many decades and attitudes to the wasteful use of water can and will not change overnight. The same can be applies to most, if not all environmental problems as well. It will take too far long to solve these problems and even if they could, by then it will be far too late. Humans still spend far more money on ways to destroy the environment than saving it.
@olivergrumitt2601
January 10, 2024 at 11:43 pm
There are too many people – it will be impossible for countries like India and China to develop without causing severe environmental damage because of the sheer amount of people there. But neither can they be expected to stay mired in poverty which means the problem is well insolvable and catastrophe will occur regardless of what is done now. It is impossible to avoid the conclusion that humanity should have stayed in the Stone Age and never left it. Going back to it now is impossible. The balance of nature began to be upset a very long time ago now and it is impossible, absolutely impossible, to restore that balance now. It will take not just decades, not just centuries but thousands of years to restore the environment, if at all. The human population is relentlessly going up while the numbers of other species is going down just as relentlessly. Meanwhile humans engage in senseless activities like. War, genocide and so on. And there are still thousands of nuclear weapons that would wipe humanity out if humans chose to use them.
That danger is very real with with a man like Putin in charge of the world’s biggest nuclear arsenal. And that is not to mention other threats like overexploitstion and depletion of the world’s resources. Those resources will run out sooner
Or later and with them time will run out for humanity as well. The best thing people should do is not have children – there is no point in having them as it is far too late to solve the countless problems that beset the world, problems getting relentlessly worse every year and showing No sign of getting better or even just slowing down.
It is all very depressing isn’t it?
