Sure, I never said anything about that, only commenting against the hyperbole that there will be “no tomorrow” when places run out.

There will still be tomorrows, people will just move elsewhere like they’ve done for thousands of years.

Problem is, there will be less and less elsewheres where people can still live within a hundred years or so.

Yes, I commented on that. They will go elsewhere, and they will have tomorrow. It’s weird y’all are downvoting this like it’s personal to you.

Thousands of years ago didn’t have desalination nor electricity.. there’s a reason why they moved to fresh water inland.and before you jump there: desalination requires a fuck load of electricity that impacts with other issues.

Read a book.

What does this have to do with tomorrow stopping permanently because places lose ground water, though?
