Many changes will take place as they have already begun to in climate, structure of society, values, predominant religions and so on and one common and constant factor is highly likely to be conflict.Rummuserhttp://www.rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-22839416990569387542015-09-06T14:58:15.922-02:302015-09-06T14:58:15.922-02:30http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-comp...http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-company-bottling-air-from-canadian-rockies-and-selling-it-worldwide-1.3206226Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397412960413259837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-25793660525256092332015-09-06T14:54:16.381-02:302015-09-06T14:54:16.381-02:30My brother used to say many decades ago that we wo...My brother used to say many decades ago that we would be facing a huge influx of environmental refugees within our lifetime. Unfortunately, his prediction has come true. There are people in my community working to take in a couple of families. If every community would do that, maybe we could make a dent.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397412960413259837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-30009221605645451362015-09-04T17:18:48.762-02:302015-09-04T17:18:48.762-02:30I'm convinced Nick that mass MSM, under direct...I'm convinced Nick that mass MSM, under direction of their overlords, are prevented from broadcasting very much about climate change.

I was unaware that climate change and widespread loss of livelihood was such a big factor in the political unrest. Other countries will no doubt see similar climate-change linked upheavals in the years to come.nickhttp://nickhereandnow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-26633543715532119452015-09-04T14:21:48.362-02:302015-09-04T14:21:48.362-02:30I hear it's a year for California, I guess it ...I hear it's a year for California, I guess it depends on who's crunching the numbers.

We have so much freshwater here we could supply the world. <br />Due to good enough governance and a decent level of prosperity, California is managing to handle the current drought, but if it goes on for two more years, they are cooked.
