Published 1999 but the principles hold trueHi Rob,
When was that book written?
I have just had a 'flashback' to school days, when we had someone visit our school and talk about the same topic.
He was saying things along the lines of countries that rely on water from a river, that flows through other countries before it reaches their country.
So the higher up the the flow stream you are, you can control the water to countries downstream of where you are.
You could dry them out, flood them or poison them depending on the circumstances
Hole in the ozone layer? What hole?Clearly more needs to be done on both fronts but the hole in the ozone layer has been reducing as is now the smallest its been since it's peak in 1988.

No idea what’s going on hereWasn’t it closing / closed already ?
That is just the point this book makes, but there is and will be an ever increasing number of people whom live on this planet and tend to consume more water...then its down to who has enough dosh to buy their water ...when they are thurstySurely there's been the same amount of water on the planet for the last 100,000,000 years? It just changes form (ice-liquid-vapour) & concentration levels from time 2 time...…….
I have not yet thought about it too much yet but burning N2Fair point, adult male 60% water, adult female 55% water. The more people on the planet the more water it ties up sustaining life
Global warming was an issue well before that date too. There were holes in the ozone layer over the north and south pole in the early eighties.
Which ponders the question - what have we done about it?
The former has pretty much happened as predicted but the latter has not materialised... yet.
