Instead of denying climate change, there should be a global understanding that the most important resource for humans and wildlife is WATER. Not oil, not gold, not money.

      They are doing that to the Great Lakes from Michigan too. Water bottle companies are a double threat in my opinion one is redistribution on a massive scale for exorbitant prices and the other is the plastic problem they exasperate. There are companies wanting to build infrastructure to send the Great Lakes water to many states far away and I can't see the ecosystem surviving it. It would create problems bigger than our country has ever seen. I don't believe our problems are anywhere near some of the countries they're showing here but if we mess to much with natural resources it could be. As is we are just managing to keep invasive species of fish from the Mississippi, caused by fish farming, from invading our lakes and causing a meltdown of natural species. We already have the invasive Snakehead fish and invasive Zebra Muscles brought in by sea ships causing problems.

      Humans have this habit of only correcting a deadly error a bit to late. Climate change is no longer preventable, it is inevitable. Things are about to get a whole lot worse. Even if we completely change our infrastructure immediately (good luck with that) millions if not billions of people ARE going to die. People are all ready dying now, with a shortage. When water becomes the new currency, which it will the way things are headed. Many more will die for the wars many might will have to fight just to have clean water.

    This is another great documentary. Those countries which are on this documentary were in that place for thousands of years. There was no complication based on water. What makes the case of water complicated today? 1. Those water scarce countries are among the major countries that waste water. 2. Politics and a feeling of controlling a source of the water is the other major reason. 3. Those downstream countries doesn't care to for upstream countries. At list they should compensate economically for the resources they use.

      None of your answers to your own question has any logic. A very simple explanation of why 1000 of years we didn't have this problem but now we have, simply boils down to 2 realistic reasons: 1. Growing population and its need of water (Compare the population boom in the last 100 years with the last 1000 years), 2. Water getting dried up of climatic change, which is again is a consequence of growing human population necessities.

Gamal Abdel Nasser had previously come under sharp criticism for his failure to aid Syria and Jordan against Israel; he had also been accused of hiding behind the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) stationed at Egypt’s border with Israel in the Sinai. Now, however, he moved to unambiguously demonstrate support for Syria: on May 14, 1967, Nasser mobilized Egyptian forces in the Sinai; on May 18 he formally requested the removal of the UNEF stationed there; and on May 22 he closed the Gulf of Aqaba to Israeli shipping, thus instituting an effective blockade of the port city of Elat in southern Israel. On May 30, King Hussein of Jordan arrived in Cairo to sign a mutual defense pact with Egypt, placing Jordanian forces under Egyptian command; shortly thereafter, Iraq too joined the alliance.
