Natural resources are fuelling a new cold war
InternetCNN.com/Aug 18

In year 2020 the "water crisis" would spread across half the world, leaving many countries without drinking water and proper sanitation. This may possibly result in global cataclysm. Consequently, leaders around the world would be fighting for their survival rather than economic interests. In the near future, water would replace oil in the market of highly demanded goods, as such; water would fetch very high prices. This may not be beneficial to Singapore as we do not have natural water resources, furthermore we cannot rely on the reverse osmosis technology for a consistent provision of water. If we were to really lose all these natural resources to pollution, man should only blame themselves and no one.
