Other than warming they are not facts. In fact, warming is expected to increase the amount of water available to human populations (it is stated explicitly in the IPCC reports) and it is increasing populations that will be the primary cause of water shortages.
good on ya for referencing the IPCC! By the by, do you have an IPCC 'money-quote' to align with your most generalized statement? And which RCP are you presuming to leverage, hey - RCP8.5?
Care to speak to all the other aspects of impact/risk attached to RCP8.5... I mean, c'mon, don't just stop with water availability!
most pointedly, that
increased water availability won't be uniform, with large population bases subject to water limitations/constraints:
given your emphasis on population increase and your forever "adapt-R-Us-Only" policy push, just how do you propose the global community of nations will respond to projections of an increased displacement of people associated with higher exposure to extreme weather events... to increased risks of violent conflicts driven by poverty and economic shocks? The U.S. Pentagon and intelligence community certainly acknowledge their concerns in this regard - what's the TimG_adapt-R-Us policy in this regard, hey?
