And that's just in her first year.
Too bad she won't be around for the real fun of worldwide water shortages.

Wow....you're quite the doom and gloom guy, ain't you?
You are predicting oil at $350/barrel (based on your $7/gallon)? Not going to happen.
There is no evidence that the bird flu virus is mutating into a human to human communicable diseasze. I see this going the way of Ebola and SARS.
War? Probably.
Water shortages? I doubt it. While expensive, desalination plants are quite effective.
Go take a happy pill, you pessimist.
