a billion plus Catholics, has to be making far more difference than either of us managed. Or my college geology teacher 40 years ago did. He taught climate change and fresh water depletion to every class, but we're right where he said we'd be if we didn't make serious changes.
Thank goodness Pope Francis is speaking. The situation is dreadful. People are dying in holocaust numbers already directly and indirectly from loss of fresh water, and wealthy investors are purchasing and privatizing the fresh water supplies of whole regions ("the oil of the 21st century"
.
Including right here. The Great Lakes alone are among the planet's largest remaining stores of fresh water. Under Trump, privatization of our fresh water will be surging ahead. How long until wannabe plutocrats are literally shipping fresh water overseas while the number of people who can't afford to buy adequate fresh water grows?
