I'm wondering.... If glaciers are receeding, and glaciers are mostly responsible for feeding say...the great lakes, which in turn feed our rivers, and our crops...I wonder how things will be in the U.S. when the glaciers are gone and the only source of fresh water (hypothetically) will be these lakes?

And yeah no one on CE is going to give a crap but still.

I think you over estimate how long it's going to be until it's a problem. We're talking 2020's at worst and 2030's at best. It's going to be a gradual change which we're already seeing round the world. It's not like one day the water is going to be off. It's going to be increasing prices over a period of time and more people falling into poverty. Everyone is going to be fighting to stay ahead of the curve. It's already happening with more and more people being homeless and dying from preventable reasons. It's only going to get worse.

it's a slipping slope. the poor will feed off the poverish. the middle class will feed off the poor. the rich are the lucky ones.
