Left unmentioned in the argument is that warmer weather and increased Co2 have increased the amount of food being grown around the world. Increased Co2 has allowed for a reduction in the use of fertilizers by as much as 15%.

The lack of drinking water is not related to global warming. Population growth is the cause. When a billion or so people in India need to drink, clean themselves, and irrigate their crops, a lot of water is used. How much water does a single person use in a day? How much water do a billion people use?

California has a water crisis, and the states of Arizona and Nevada are all fighting over who gets how much of the water which comes down the Colorado river. The water levels in Lake Mead have been falling for years, yet the amount of water which comes down the river has remained constant. The problem is quadrupling (or more) of populations, and the water necessary to bath and feed those people.

And, even if global warming were evaporating lakes and rivers, where does evaporated water go? It doesn't disappear into space, it forms clouds, which then produce more rain. Increased global warming should, in fact, be increasing rainfall. How stupid are people?

But, it's not about the science. It's about developing countries which want rich countries to give them money. It's about politicians who want to use increased regulation to increase their own political power. In other words, it has less to do with the environment than it does personal selfishness, greed, and envy, which are the same root issues which always bring misery to the world.

Copenhagen is a farce, a meeting of power-hungry hypocrites who pretend to care for others when in reality they are only in it for themselves. 40,000 tons of Co2 were generated by this non-event, for the sake of bureaucrats to travel to Europe and live fat cats in 5 star hotels and show how important they are.
