We're not "water bankrupt", we're massively over human populated!
Every natural resource is under strain. Every animal and plant not serving as a revenue center for some rich prick is be pushed into extinction.
But for some reason we need to grow the idiot herd, because elon needs more...
Maybe if we didn't have 1 person with more wealth than 1/2 of the US population, we wouldn't have a problem paying for old people to age in relative comfort...
Earth can sustain current population many times over, what it cannot however is human greed and stupidity. No worries, as George Carlin said: “Save the earth! Save the earth! The earth is fine, we are the ones who are screwed.”
Yea, the mineral globe of the earth might be fine, we probably won't change it's orbit around the sun, but every other life form on the planet WILL be in great peril.
Like so much else, this assertion that earth will be fine, is total bullshit...
No. We're not. Not even close.
