Climate change could pose a threat to the technology industry as copper production is vulnerable to drought, while demand may grow to outstrip supply anyway.



According to a report out today from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), copper mines require a steady water supply to function, and many are situated in places around the world that face a growing risk of severe drought due to shifts in climate.


Were doomed, I tell you, doomed...

...Have PW taken out options in copper mines then?

I don't think there is any need to worry. Every day on facebook is news of a new green technology that will save the day. Apparently "scientists" have invented a new wonder product that uses solar to produce millions of gallons of water per hour out of thin air. It probably has something to do with the new find of naturally occurring Hydrogen that could power the world for the next 1000 years and extracted using powerful wind turbines that have no blades :)
