Experts: Warming to cause global water shortages by 2080
USA Today
Climate change is going to exacerbate this scarcity,” he told the two-day Asia Pacific Regional Water Conference attended by policymakers, government officials, academics, businessmen and consumer group representatives. Scientists have said global climate change takes many forms, causing droughts in some areas while increasing flooding and the severity of cyclones in others. Droughts reduce water supply, and floods destroy the quality of water. Rising sea levels, for instance, increase the salt content at the mouths of many rivers, from which many Asians draw their drinking water. “As human civilization develops, the environment is increasingly affected in negative ways. Floods, drought, changing rainfall patterns and rising temperatures are signs of our misdeeds to nature,” said Rozali Ismail, head of a state water association in Malaysia. Wong and others at the conference called on governments to embrace the Kyoto Protocol climate treaty to fight global warming and protect water resources, as a short-term solution.
