water water everywhere and not a drop to drink

50 years from now we will look back on the days when fresh water was plentiful and the ocean was relatively unpolluted. We will cringe when we realize how much water we have wasted and we will be shocked when the world's fisheries collapse. Wars will be fought over water and they will be unimaginably brutal. This is where we are heading. While this rarely gets much press, some scientists recently called for a ban on fishing in a third of the world's oceans. It probably won't happen but it's good that they are getting the idea of cutting back on fishing into the mainstream media.
