Water, Water, Everywhere

A "major" international report by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, soon to be released, claims that:
Billions of people will suffer water shortages and the number of hungry will grow by hundreds of millions by 2080 as global temperatures rise... that between 1.1 billion and 3.2 billion people will be suffering from water scarcity problems by 2080 and between 200 million and 600 million more people will be going hungry.
Since the latest reports on global warming accurately put the blame on repeating sun cycles of increasing and (eventually) decreasing solar radiation, perhaps those hundreds of millions of unfortunate people going hungry and thirsty in 2080 will be caused by the massive increase in world population staring us in the face, causing a huge strain on Earth's limited resouces of food and fresh water.

Instead of trying to shut down all our power plants and outlawing every car on Earth--something that would put us all back into a new stone age--Al gore and his alarmists should get to work on handling our upcoming population crisis.

That's a real crisis we face, and avoidable.

But there's not a damn thing we can do about sun cycles. Somebody go tell Al Gore.
