WHICH HEADLINE IS TRUE?
May 18, 2025​

---

Can you spot the real headline? Only one of these is true:

A. "UN Report: 70% of Fresh Water Sources Completely Depleted by 2025"
B. "World Health Organization: 1 in 3 People Globally Do Not Have Access to Safe Drinking Water"
C. "Global Crisis: 90% of World Population to Face Severe Water Shortage by 2030"​

---

Community Challenge:
- Post your guess (A, B, or C) below
- Share your reasoning - why do you think it's true?
- Did any of the false headlines trick you? Why did they seem plausible?

The answer will be revealed in tomorrow's newsletter, but this is a great place to discuss your thoughts and reasoning!

Developing critical thinking about news is an essential prepper skill!​

I'm putting my money on B. The other two are just too doomsday for my taste, even for a dyed-in-the-wool prepper like me. A sounds like something out of a bad sci-fi movie and C is basically saying we'll all be living in a desert by 2030. Plausible, yes, but a bit too extreme. Also, I remember hearing somewhere that about a third of the world's population doesn't have access to clean water. Anyone else think B is the real deal, or am I just letting my gardener's optimism show too much?
