    Not enough water, especially now that global warming is starting to show. Much of our water comes from aquifers. Once drained, they’re not refilling for hundreds or thousands of years.

    Yeah, we could be smarter, more efficient with distribution, but we can’t sustain 100’s of millions living in deserts and semi-arid lands.

    I’ll allow that South America and Africa could likely be OK on water, don’t know anything about them and haven’t heard of a single issue on either continent. Well, except for Amazon water levels getting historically low.
