| Water wars? Devastating shortages will fuel MidEast conflicts for 25 yrs – report | | RT America -

water shortage to strike over the next 25 years. The global fallout
from the recent record heatwaves will force more and more people
into overcrowded cities and stagnate economic growth. Worse still,

water shortages will exacerbate existing conflicts – and the factor
is considered to have contributed to the rising violence in Syria
that erupted in 2011." ca
