Isn’t water pretty much a zero sum game?

Unless the aliens are stealing it.

Isn’t water pretty much a zero sum game?

To repeat a phrase popularized by Senator Ernest Hollings: "There's too much consumin' goin' on out there."

Ergo, there ain't enough peein' goin' on out there, apparently. People must be hoarding their 'outflow'.

It is, and the only way to ‘disappear’ it is to lock it up in plants, or God Forbid, humans and animals.

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.

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.
