Massive sand storms, ranging fire tornadoes and the Eiffel Tower covered in locusts. These are but a few of the envisioned worst-case scenarios presented by MSNBC’s Future Earth: 2025 focus on our dwindling fresh water supplies. A synopsis:

“Future Earth: 2025” seeks to investigate the unsure future of our water supply, taking viewers 15 years down the road to 2025. The special includes five case studies of natural disasters that leading environmental experts warn might result from our growing water crisis, including dust bowls, severe flooding, raging wildfires, plagues of locusts and even political wars. To bring these catastrophes to life, the documentary features state-of-the-art computer animation to make real what our planet could experience as soon as 2025.”

Sure, most of us present won’t be around to confirm such models of disaster, but your kids will remember when you warned them to get fire tornado insurance. (Clearly, most us will be around. I must not have had coffee yet.) Check out a preview of clip below. The episode airs December 20th.
