I propose now this approach: global warming will probably cause many wars in the future, due to lack of water, foods and so on. There is a major danger that the half of the mankind and 46 countries will be involved in conflicts emerging from the climatic changes. major reasons: soil erosion, the rise of the sea level, the melting of the glaciers, stronger tempests. I can give a terrible example: in Peru almost all the drinking water comes from the melt of the glaciers. In 2015, also in 8 years from now, almost all the glaciers will be melted already! Consequently, 27 000 000 people, inhabitant of this country, will suffer from thirsty. Normally, the authorities could meet some measures to prevent a major crisis, but Peru enjoys only a little democratic experience, has many outbreaks of local conflicts, and has territorial problems with the neighbors Chile and Ecuador. You can get the final picture: chaos, insurgencies, massive displacement of populations.

The situation is really dramatic for the unstable countries, which are have no or little ressouces to face the global warming. The countries who will lose water sources, lands, or will face unbelievable strong tempests will need efficient governments for competing all these ugly scenarios. Otherwise, the population will organize itself in defending groups, and the conflicts will be very intense.

So, dear reader, what do you think about this? Tell me plese your argumented opinion.
