And if you disagree with the basket weavers and try to reason with them, or to lay out a discourse with facts, you're just blown off as an uneducated, ignorant, redneck. You "Just don't care Man".
You might not think it will ever be a problem in Missoula -- and don't get me wrong, I'd be concerned if the Clark Fork river ran dry -- but rivers do run dry. It's happened in places people have never imagined it happening. And then there's the difference between "water" and "drinkable water". While as a child I've drunk plenty of creek, river, and lake water, today, I really don't recommend that.
You've got all this grey water. What else you gonna do with it? (other than dump it back in the river downstream of the town for the next town to drink your "poo water") [for the record, treated waste water is usually cleaner than the water coming directly from the river.]
If the rivers (Clark Fork AND the Bitterroot) both ran dry no amount of saving water use NOW is going to prevent the aquifer from running dry THEN.
Luckily no amount of hubris from the enlightened class can have any effect on global rainfall. It is pretty doubtful that reducing man-made CO2 by even 50% would have any effect on climate change either.
Of course the only way to get a 50% reduction in human generated CO2 would be to kill 50% of the world's population. Let's hope the fertile minds that gave us eugenics and socialism don't start thinking that is a viable solution.
