You really should read this article. It is about a yachtsman who recently sailed from Australia to Japan to the US – the same route he sailed ten years ago – and how he found a dead and astonishlingly polluted ocean where only ten years ago there had been a living one. The article is […]

Water Wars – in the US and the Middle East
posted by Planet In Distress
I highly recommend that you read the two main articles cited in this post.

Unfortunately, Emdat does not yet have the data up for 2011, a year full of very expensive disasters, so we have to work with what we’ve got. […]
