Shortage of natural resources in this world - Group 2

1. Description

As China become industrializes, they spend more of water to support its factories. And also, they started to use pump to bring out more of water from the depth-water to supports its huge number of people. However, the water in the depth of earth are limited so, it would be dried out someday. It already shows us some signs that some of land in China became desert due to lack of water. It is not only occurred in China, it happens in India and Africa as well. Then people would invade others to survive due to lack of water and land. If there is lack of the water, ecological adaptation will be happened. This means that our life cycle will be changed. The advanced countries like the US, and EU is already preparing for this phenomenon but developing countries can not afford. Then the difference of living standard will be widened between advanced countries and developing countries.

2. Enablers

- Huge population of China and India - China’s industrialize - No budgets to prepare for developing countries - Hybrid energy does not commercialized yet - No birth control in Africa - Advanced countries still make money out of the natural resources from Africa

3. Inhibitors

- Alert people - Developing hybrid energy - Alternative energy from wind and the Sun - Counties are trying to control carbon dioxide be Kyoto commitment

4. Paradigms

People would have the war to secure water like people are fighting for the oil these days. Power structure would be changed. Countries which secured more waters would take the role as a leader of the world. And also economic structure would be changed. They would concentrate to develop alternative energy rather than make money out of IT industries. And also amount of CO2 exhaustion market would be opened like a stock markets these days.
