Bush’s fault!

Make your own: Water from Air atmospheric water generators

98% of the earth’s water is salty. Increased ocean surface temperatures will lead to increased evaporation from the oceans. Increased evaporation yields increased rainfall, i.e., more fresh water.

Think Buffalo, NY & “lake effect” snow coming from the warmer waters of Lake Erie.

Now all we have is dirt !!!

Well of course. It is only to be expected when every drop of water a human drinks is GONE FOREVER!!!!!!!

Which is all the more reason to drink large amounts of beer whenever possible so you can replenish the water supply!!! It is environmentally freindly! Do it for the planet!

Nothing is zero sum, IMHO especially water. You can’t kill water. Everything that uses water for life urinates the remainder, except perhaps birds and they don’t drink much anyway, and that use is minuscule IMHO. To quote the President and Algore, the oceans are rising, meaning even more water. If anything, water is cyclical. A few years ago our area lakes were at fifty percent of full, and this year after heavy spring rains, all are full to capacity and outflows still heavy.

thanks, I needed a good laugh.

[SpinnerWebb]

Thanks... yes, water grab was my observation back in April

[IYAS9YAS]

Are they showing the ones that are higher than they were 60 years ago?

There are also vast lakes, pools and rivers of water underground, deeper than the ground water we tap with wells.

There has been a lot of debate concerning new water brought to Earth via small comets.

Also google “water cycle”.

Sounds like some people could use a diuretic.

If we fail to prevent our country from becoming socialist/communist, guess what will happen to our lakes? Take another look at the Aral Sea. There’s no sea there anymore.

This isn’t “mankind’s” fault, but communism’s fault. Specifically, the communists who were the dictators of the old Soviet Union. It resulted from central bureaucrats in Moscow dictating policies about areas where they didn’t live, had no personal interests, and who didn’t give a care about the thriving fishing industry in the Gulf, uhh, the Aral Sea.
