Unsettling Science

Just as it's not plausible that the Earthrise image began a movement, it's not plausible that this image speaks to us about the shortage of water on Earth. It's volume is 332,500,000 cubic miles; enough for 80,000 Olympic swimming pools of the stuff for each person on the planet. So, getting worked up about its immanent shortage is not unlike getting worked up about there being 'not enough food in the world', when you simply haven't gone to the supermarket.
