Interesting article, thanks for posting it. I don't quite understand though how you can blame the crisis on the climate change. It's not such a huge affecting factor yet. If millions of people started dying because of water shortages then yes that could cause a worldwide havoc. But the catastrophic predictions are just predictions, none of it is really happening and thus can't affect anyone or anything.
