Medical Forum / General / Alternative / February 2008Re: UN Calls Water Top Priority
Excerpt From: UN calls water top priority EDITH M. LEDERER Associated Press Writer Fri Jan 25, 1:11 AM ET DAVOS, Switzerland - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged the world on Thursday to put the looming crisis over water shortages at the top of the global agenda this year and take action to prevent conflicts over scarce supplies. He reminded business and political leaders at the World Economic Forum that the conflict in the Darfur region of Sudan was touched off by drought -- and he said shortages of water contribute to poverty and social hardship in Somalia, Chad, Israel, the Palestinian territories, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Haiti, Colombia and Kazakhstan. "Too often, where we need water we find guns instead," Ban said. "Population growth will make the problem worse. So will climate change. As the global economy grows, so will its thirst. Many more conflicts lie just over the horizon." He said a recent report identified 46 countries with 2.7 billion people where climate change and water-related crises create "a high risk of violent conflict" and a further 56 countries, with 1.2 billion people "are at high risk of violent conflict." The report was by International Alert, an independent peacebuilding organization based in London. Ban told the VIP audience that he spent 2007 "banging my drum on climate change," an issue the Forum also had as one of its main themes last year. He welcomed the focus on water this year saying the session should be named: "Water is running out." "We need to adapt to this reality, just as we do to climate change," he said. "There is still enough water for all of us -- but only so long as we can keep it clean, use it more wisely, and share it fairly." Ban said he will invite world leaders to "a critical high-level meeting" in September to focus on meeting U.N. development goals -- including cutting by half the number of people without access to safe drinking water by 2015 -- particularly in Africa.

So, is the UN and the WHO going to use vaccines and AIDS chemicals to kill half the Africans, or be patient and use serilization to slowly reduce the need for water?

Yes, there is an amount of etiquette that is appropriate and bad language doesn't help anybody. However, in Cee's case, he's been traumatised by the system.

Well, he clearly claims to have *attended* the Intergalactic University of Mars.
