If Vegas goes dry there will certainly be enough alcohol to keep visitors happy for decades. Seriously though, a story liek this should be illustrating that global warming is a real trend that is alarming.

Josh you are such a moron for thinking that just because we are in a desert, we are destined to run out of water supply. Because of people like you is probably why we are running out of water in the first place. We need to stop being so careless, and really take care of our enviromnent and stop wasting so much water.

I would be inclined to compassion for the people of Las Vegas, and I certainly have no problem with that fair city, but come on people: building an ever-expanding city in the middle of the desert, with no independent source of water? How is it a surprise to anyone that this has to end in catastrophy?

It just isn’t possible to maintain this kind of poor water management in a society that is only geared for consumption.

The good thing is: nobody has to vote for change or advocate for better water management. There is no requirement to give more thought to conservation. When the water goes away, so will the problem of Las Vegas. Nature’s way of dealing with this kind of situation knows no remorse and no mercy. Civilization ends where the water runs out.

You’d think we’d know that by now.
