Scientists predicted the Canada droughts and governments ignored all the warnings

We heard yesterday that Waterloo is pausing residential developments due to inexistent water capacity, however a quick check revealed that Waterloo continues assembling land for a large industrial site in Wilmot Township. Same shit is going on in Quebec with Microsoft data centers and the empty Hydro reservoirs. Right now we import electricity from the USA.

C’est tellement décourageant!

Here are several links indicating that scientists predicted the water crisis in Canada as early as 2006, but governments completely ignored (and continue to ignore) science and approved (and continue to approve) water guzzling projects. Based on this willful blindness and recklessness, all I can say is that we’re about to go extinct before 2030. We won’t have time to sue anyone, because we’re all going to die, before the cases proceed. We’re effed!!!!!!!!!!

What is the point of a million warnings only so governments and corporations can simply ignore them. The future is not happening.
