Massive water crisis looming: Gwynne Dyer speaks in city http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1268320471
Dyer presented a multitude of "frightening scenarios" which could occur in the next 20-25 years and he did not spare Canada.
He said our country could be confronted with a "desperate" United States if the lower states -- vulnerable to severe droughts -- run short of water.
"Should we make a (water-supply) deal on our terms before (the U.S. is forced to divert Great Lakes water unilaterally)?" Dyer said... "You could see the methane gas bubbling up through the melt," Dyer said, recalling eye-witness accounts near Yellowknife, N.W.T. "The kids get kitchen matches, find the melt ponds and set them on fire -- they burn all summer."... "They're drawing up scenarios where armed forced have an enormous role in taking on emerging threats," Dyer said, explaining that water shortages will ignite international tensions.
