The Largest rivers in China, Germany, Italy, and numerous other places around the world are 75% gone just like lake Meade. This is starting to scare the crap out of me. In the USA alone right now 38% of our crop land is not being planted because of weather changes. Last year we lost 50% of corn, soybeans, potatoes and others due to too much rain. Fresh water is vanishing world wide followed by crop failures and who knows what else.
