Water is already a scarce and badly managed resource globally. Expect water conflicts - local, national and international, and even water wars. Comment from banks of Danube river in Hungary, Budapest. Lessons from river Nile - Uganda and Sudan. Comment by Patrick Dixon.

"Over a decade ago I warned of water wars, and that water would become a national security issue. We have seen this recently in Syria and Iraq. Rivers, canals, dams, water treatment plants and pipelines have all become military targets. Entire cities in desert areas can easily be placed under siege if their water is cut off."

Why NO DEAL Brexit created an instant nightmare for the EU because Irish/UK border cannot be closed - around 60,000 video views

3rd March 2019 -  Just returning from Brussels which was gridlocked yesterday with all EU national leaders. Boris Johnson set to become UK's next Prime Minister at next such gathering - part of long term global shift against politicians with carefully written, measured autocue speeches packed with well-researched facts, in favour of leaders who are more spontaneous, impulsive, emotional, outrageous and "authentic", looser with truth, often people with "colourful" and controversial personal lives.

And Brexit? Trouble is that in BOTH cases, the reality is that a no deal option is a nightmare. For Brussels it will certainly plunge the EU into customs chaos, because whatever they say, the UK / EU border CANNOT be properly closed. The ROI / NI border will continue to be a soft one because neither ROI nor UK have political interest or the resources to close over 300 miles of countryside border. Such a nightmare for the EU could only be stopped by effectively throwing the ROI out of the free trade area, placing it on a similar trade basis as the UK - with customs controls between ROI and rest of the EU.

Future of District Heating and Energy / Power. Smart cities, energy saving, zero carbon houses, reducing carbon emissions. Euroheat green tech keynote by Futurist keynote speaker Patrick Dixon - VIDEO

District Heating, Cooling and Energy is growing rapidly globally as a strategy to improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and save costs - and will reach $250bn a year of new investment by 2025.

More efficient than every home running their own gas boilers or air conditioning. Key is integration of many different energy sources including industrial waste heat, solar, wind, biomass and so on alongside gas etc.

Nations like China, Germany and Denmark have already invested heavily in this area. Comment before keynote at Euroheat conference in Nantes, by Futurist Keynote Speaker Patrick Dixon, Chairman Global Change Ltd
