Tragedy of the Himalayas

In preparation for the Copenhagen climate talks, Time magazine put together a fascinating and terrifying glimpse into the consequences that global warming may (has begun to?) exert on water supply in Asia. I've only just seen it today since a coworker shared her copy with me. Check it out!

I tried to track down the McKinsey report referenced in the aforementioned piece and found this; I'm not sure that it's the document the author mentioned but it looks fascinating nonetheless. I also found this assessment of the economic impact of drought in China, which looks to be equally interesting.
