The findings underscore an urgent need to incorporate climate change and sedimentation impacts into sustainable water resources management “to protect essential ecosystem services such as freshwater storage, food supply, waterbird habitat, cycling of pollutants and nutrients, and recreation,” according to an editor’s summary accompanying the study.

    I believe that for western countries to act on climate change things have to get much worse here.

    So we’ll see much more devastation and then solutions with bad side effects that could have been prevented, if we had acted earlier.

    The population in western countries mostly isn’t willing to spend a little bit of resources now to fight very bad outcomes of the future. Also they’re obviously not willing to do this for other people, only for themselves.
