This is what 100 years of big oil saying, "fuck you I got mine" does.

What does 'big oil' have to do with South Africa?

Really? I really hope I am not dealing with a climate change denier in your response.

I would die if the city I live in has no water. Oh wait I was born and still reside in Cape Town.

Americans would divert it, have it shipped in or move.

South Africa hardly has enough oil to make a mess.

What was it the comedian said, we shouldn't ship them food or water. Send them Winnebagos so that they can get the fuck outta there.

Or maybe it's because since 1995, Cape Town population increased 78% while reservoir capacity increased 15%.

Way to miss the point. THIS IS NOT about one country, this is about how big oil WORLDWIDE has been pumping out CO2 for over a century which is causing more extremes WORLDWIDE. Nobody is blaming one country, I am blaming an industry for the impact it has had on our entire planet.

You can expect more climate volatility, in more frequency of droughts, more extreme flooding, more intense snowstorms in the winter, more frequency of hurricanes/typhoons/cyclones, more wild fires in the summer. Climate change is GLOBAL, South Africa's drought is merely one symptom of 100 years of ignoring the problem.

What get's burned as fuel on any part of the planet, collectively has an effect on the ENTIRE planet. Our planet's atmosphere does not give a shit about boarders or profits, if we keep fucking up our atmosphere by polluting it, we only hurt ourselves long term.

NO BUTTHOLE.......  Their drought is happening for the same damned reason we've had record wild fires in California. 

The data put into computer models has taken MILLIONS of points of data records of temps worldwide over the recorded history of weather science, and those models PROVE we are causing it you DUMBASS!

Take your science denying and shove it up your ass!

Yea, big oil forced them all to move into areas with limited water resources. LA (most of southern CA), Phoenix, Las Vegas, ...................
