    Ooh clever. What’s your prediction about how much those liters of water will cost? Do you think money will be gone by 2050, a vestige of a pre-apocalyptic era?

      One can only hope money is gone by then , climate change or not. We have the resources as a planet and civilisation to take care of everyone and make sure everyone is housed and fed , yet we decide to let human beings fall by the wayside.
