Is anyone saving the water and investing for the future by storing the water ahead of the global warming catastrophe?

Actually, I'm spending £227,395 on a watertight bomb shelter for my crummy studio flat in Brixton for just such an occasion.
Oh wait... my studio is on the 9th floor... might have to think of somethign else! Hope my bomb shelter deposit is refundable!You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.0 -

Actually water is a hot commodity. China will have to spend billions on purifying contaminated water in the next 5 years.0

Don't go scaremongering... people will suddenly start hoarding water and there will be none left for the people that need it !!!!!

Too late, I have just ordered 10000 water barrels based on the definitive advice you guys gave about this cast-iron investment opportunity. And just think, if I am not a squillionaire in 5 years time I can blame MSE.com!0

I've got 5 water butts, which are brimming!
Didn't use them at all this summer, because it was so damn wet, so plants didn't need watering.
I'm on a meter, so save water as much as possible.
Any ideas what to do with all that rainwater through the winter??
Nice change of subject 0 -
Turn it to ICE and SAVE it..?0

I hope that certain BBC journalists are not looking at this. They may hint at rumours of upcoming water shortages, and hoarding of water, in the 6pm news. They may speculate that some foreign owned water companies are likely to restrict supplies to UK consumers while allowing the taps to run freely in their home countries. This could lead to hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of householders filling their baths, buckets, and saucepans, thus causing a run on the reservoirs. Brown will be forced to announce that your first 50 gallons a day are guaranteed, even though with some water companies you may have to have the first 25 gallons shipped in from abroad.No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.
The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

Your views on the water potential in Asia?
India and China have huge water problems. Water could be the next big investment. And, the best way is to invest in water companies which clean it, transport or pump it. Find the water companies that solve the water problem and you could be the richest person in India.0 -
