Day Zero, Cape Town, South Africa

Day Zero is the grim name given to the moment, calculated to occur THIS summer, when Cape Town, South Africa, will become the first major metropolitan area in the world to run out of water.  Due to severe drought and a dysfunctional government that has long ignored warnings from climate scientists and water engineers, citizens will be forced to pick up daily rations at emergency stations.


Probably a harbinger of things to come world wide, in my view.  I wonder how many folks will tout 'prayer' as  the solution to the problem ??
emphasis mine

Many will pray. Nothing will happen as a result. Unless people physically do something - this will be a terrible tragedy.
