"Now, a new study that examines the world’s total supply of fresh water — accounting for its rivers and rain, ice and aquifers together — warns that Earth’s most essential resource is quickly disappearing, signaling what the paper’s authors describe as “a critical, emerging threat to humanity.” The landmasses of the planet are drying. In most places there is less precipitation even as moisture evaporates from the soil faster. More than anything, Earth is being slowly dehydrated by the unmitigated mining of groundwater, which underlies vast proportions of every continent. Nearly 6 billion people, or three quarters of humanity, live in the 101 countries that the study identified as confronting a net decline in water supply — portending enormous challenges for food production and a heightening risk of conflict and instability.

The paper “provides a glimpse of what the future is going to be,” said Hrishikesh Chandanpurkar, an earth systems scientist working with Arizona State University and the lead author of the study. “We are already dipping from a trust fund. We don’t actually know how much the account has.”

The research, published on Friday in the journal Science Advances, confirms not just that droughts and precipitation are growing more extreme but reports that drying regions are fast expanding. It also found that while parts of the planet are getting wetter, those areas are shrinking. The study, which excludes the ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland, concludes not only that Earth is suffering a pandemic of “continental drying” in lower latitudes, but that it is the uninhibited pumping of groundwater by farmers, cities and corporations around the world that now accounts for 68% of the total loss of fresh water in those areas, which generally don’t have glaciers.

China has a monopoly on the production of rare earths.
The world could not compete because it is a dirty industry and China introduced volatility in prices, which is a business risk.
Now the world will have to invest because it is a strategic risk

yikes!
3 miners trapped underground at Red Chris mine near Dease Lake. Not a lot of information right now but apparently they are in a refuge area and safe.

It is a gold and copper mine in NW BC. It is closer (as the crow flies) to Juneau Alaska than Whitehorse, or Prince George.

Win for #chemical industry as #EPA shutters scientific research office
After Trump took office, array of #petrochemical, #mining, and #farm industry coalitions ramped up campaign to limit use of EPA's assessments of #health risks of chemicals.
Industry #lobbyists didn’t ask for 100s of Office of Research and Development (#ORD) staff to be laid off or reassigned. But elimination of agency’s scientific research arm goes a long way toward achieving the goal they sought.
