Can a tiny beetle help with global water shortages? - BBC World Service, 30 Animals podcast 

Push Baner yeah but Greta wouldn’t approve of all this transporting co 2 etc . She wants us all on push bikes 🚲, should we put the harvested water 💦 in water bottles , and peddle over to Africa ? You can’t have your vegetarian 🌱 cake 🍰, and eat it .

@@patrickquinn8473 um actually...engaging other continents sounds like a pipedream...and water bottles! seriously?... almost all countries receive rainfall in certain states or zones more than others...i meant interstate water lines...similar to oil pipelines...but definitely cheaper and ofcourse the production won't be the ideal green-tech but necessary for arid regions or villages crippled by political mismanagement...stay informed about rainwater harvesting and while you're at it do check "goldfields water supply scheme" for inspiration....

mine too

That happens to my cars when I wax them and leave them in the dew of the night

Inner Self 🌟 the corner of 2024 ? Don’t worry about it , according according to queen Greta , we will all be dead by then .

@@patrickquinn8473 Who is queen Greta?

Vietnam Flashback only around 2.5 percent of that is drinking water, though. Purifying takes a lot of money, energy, and time hence the desire to find a better solution.

@@llamasalpacas1 making nuclear bombs takes a lot of money too

Vietnam Flashback who said it did not? What exactly is the point of commenting that? Where did I as I age for the continuation of nuclear bombs? We can both work towards nuclear disarmament as well as different ways to acquire clean drinking water.

Patrick Quinn what? How do you get any of that from my comment? Pointing out that the vast majority of the world's water is not suitable for drinking and that we should find alternatives to prevent water shortages should not be seen as ”bull shit” or fear projecting. It should be seen as common sense.

Quoiiiiii

Your welcome

Water will always be in the oceans we will always have water on earth just use your freaking brains if you can't find a spring invest in a desalination plant

Well that’s just racist of both of you, and it’s actually more to do with the climate crisis for a start and some people living in areas with less water normally. It’s not anything to do with race or how many kids people have, in areas with higher mortality rates people are going to have more children because there’s a higher chance they will survive to reproduce that’s just biology (which is why I’m doing my degree in). And desalination plants are expensive and don’t produce water in the quantities needed for global use, not to mention the fact you are left with a highly salt concentrated water byproduct which if released back into the ocean would kill marine life or buried would cause ground water issues. Look people this isn’t the time to point fingers at who did what, we all put out greenhouse gasses, everyone is to blame, now is the time to all get our collective shits together and fix this issues, pretending like it’s not an issue just makes it more of an issue, the sooner we sort this issue the quicker or civilisation can move on and fix the next crisis…it’s a little something called progress and we can only do that together.

@@killertortoise1 you don't have children for a higher chance that they'd survive that's just a lame excuse. Kings and rich people be making dozen of children through history when they clearly know they'd all survive -_- and no one said anything about dumping no salt back into the ocean... Use it for cooking sell it ect. We ain't all in a water crysis yet but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. We won't sit around blaming rich people in some other country like that guy up there

T_money_ THIRD I’m sorry but you’re wrong 700 million people are already water insecure. Desalination plants don’t work like that, they either use reverse osmosis which leaves a high salinity solution behind which is hard to deal with or you have to heat that water, leaving just the salt…which is extremely costly and energy intensive and wouldn’t give a return on investment meaning no one does it or ever will as it’s for too inefficient. And sell it? We already have tons of it, take a county such as Saudi Arabia they if half of their water was produced by this method they would produce 3.5 trillion metric tons per year of salt. That’s about 14 times what that country uses per year which is already currently being supplied for. We simply don’t have any need for salt in that quantities that’s for one country now imagine all 700 million of those people needed water from a plant like that that’s a fuck load of salt and nowhere to put it. 700 million is a little under 1/10 people who don’t have regular access to clean water, if that’s not a crisis, then nothing is. What do you gain from denying it, people are sinking their money and lives into this and you think they are doing it not because there’s some sort of water crisis but for the shits and giggles? Let’s not pretend like it’s not happening because it is denying it will only make things worse for us in the long run, the sooner we fix it the countless lives we will save

KillerTortoise1 it’s not racist dopey , it’s fact . The only one creating greenhouse gases is you , talking out of your arse.
