QUESTION:<\/strong>\u00a0Marty,<\/p>\n

Any thoughts\/comments regarding the impending water shortage in Capetown? As a person who has much historical knowledge, are you aware of a major city such as Capetown ever running out of water? Or is this truly a historical first?<\/p>\n

Love your blog as it covers so much information and isn\u2019t just corporate financial data like so many others.<\/p>\n

ANSWER:<\/strong> South Africa will score this season the worse drought since 1904 right on schedule on the 112-year cycle (1\/2 224). We must respect that the climate is changing back to a dry cold period and this has impacted South Africa. This is also part of the cycle we see with rising food prices into 2024. Just as we have seen the coldest periods in the USA back to 1899, we are witnessing the worst drought in Capetown also back to the same general period. Unfortunately, yes they can run out of water on this cycle. It will be a very close call.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
