Quantifying all the worlds fresh water based on the world's population is a pretty retard take on statistics.

This kind of data about access to fresh and potable water should be stated regionally.

Likely to be another excuse for climate refugees to flood in and ruin Western countries.

Same with the population "boom" that is a lie. Most of the planet doesn't have population growth. Most of Europe is declining, China, Japan, Thailand, South Korea etc are heading towards a population cliff. Even south America is starting to peak in terms of population.

Africa and the Middle East are having extreme and completely unsustainable population growth while most of the world is declining.

Africa and the Middle East

Without these refugees Europe will not survive.

No only Africa.

Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan and Pakistan are pretty bad but yes the middle east is actually doing a lot better than most of Africa.

You can thank Mr. Borlaug for that.

For Borlaug, the rapid increase in yields suggested that there was still hope for higher food production throughout sub-Saharan Africa,[32] despite lingering questions about population sustainability and the absence of long-term studies in Africa.

If true this is great news. People that don't manage their natural resources intelligently and with long term planning deserve the Malthusian trap they create for themselves. Eco Fascism FTW.

Problem is these people will be knocking at our doors in the future and our governments will open the gates.

They can make desalination plants

Desalination works well for drinking water and household use. We will never run out of water to drink and cook with because the cost of shipping water is low enough for water not to be a problem even in a desert. The big problem is agriculture which is way to water consuming for desalination to be viable.

I wish bill gates actually wanted depopulation like jay dyer thinks instead of being a Liberal fag

Pretty sure he does, just for the wrong group of people.
