Ethiopia and Kenya are drying. So are The Great Lakes, on the other side of the world. And global warming is causing the increasingly warm water vapors within our stratosphere to escape into outer space, never to be reclaimed as fresh drinking water [NASA/JPL]. Drying is dying.

Wealthy Machiavellian industrialists have been tearing through the earth like wild children at a free candy fest, with little or no genuine concern for the negative effects of their destruction upon the environment.

You need only look at the twenty to thirty layers of brown snow resting atop formerly pristine glaciers, in the arctic, in order to see immediate evidence of this fact. How is it that the industrialists were incapable of containing such pollutants? In fact, they were quite capable. However, their lobbyists are paid large sums to convince Congressmen that it is cost-prohibitive to contain industrial waste. In fact, they were merely deferring the costs of dealing with the pollutants to society.

International industrialization is sucking the waters from once massive and thriving seas and lakes, without Governments reining them in with more logical policies. America can prohibit all pollution within it's borders. So can any other government. The industrialists can contain and sell their pollutants to recycling centers, or bury them deep within the Earth, leaving us with fresh, clean air, once again.

The scramble by powerful businessmen for every possible remnant of fresh water rights on the planet Earth is nearly complete. Fresh water is becoming a commodity, rather than a right. This is dangerous to everyone on Earth.

Excessive nuclear testing within the Pacific and Indian Oceans caused an earthquake, tsunami, and shrank our fragile planet by 3 inches, creating increasing, lasting, dramatic fluctuations in our global weather patterns, which is leading us into another ice age, given that the Earth is, now, spinning at a faster rate of speed, moment by moment.

Given current global policies, wars are inevitable within such a scenario. Yet, there is one comprehensive solution to the struggle for fresh water, at least for a few millenia:

America can, at the very least, as a gift to the peoples of Eastern Africa, ship, to Africa, the pristine, fresh waters from pure arctic and antarctic glacial ice.

As a senior measurement analyst for the oil industry, working with pipeline and international vessel movements, I know that the process is quite simple and quick, really - as well as cost
