Time to tax the water cycle.

You lost me at, “A CNN article...”.
The water ends up e.g. in Sahara.
Sahara, or, rather parts of Sahara are Greening due to increased rainfall.

We are in a closed loop. No more water in or out. If some of the rivers are not getting the rainfall, there are only four places for the water to be, underground aquifers, making up clouds/moisture in the air, in oceans (or seas or other rivers), or locked up as ice. No other places for it to be. Well, okay, it could be in cans and bottles and kegs and casks, too, I guess.
"...But, contrary to the actual physics, we are told that the climate becomes more “variable” under climate change in what has been referred to as “climate weirding.” This helps climate alarmists to argue that both floods and droughts will increase, as well as that both more snowfall and less snowfall is indicative of climate change..."
Those of us who pay attention to these things know exactly what the climate alarmists have been doing on this front, but it is nice to hear someone say it.
Been too cold and snowing too much? Global Warming.
Been too hot and too dry too much? Global Warming.
Antarctic Ice increasing? Global Warming.
Antarctic Ice decreasing? Global Warming.
Sea Levels rise? Global Warming.
Sea Levels decrease? Global Warming.
SCIENCE!
I’m gonna guess all those little gel beads that absorb liquid - they’re in all kinds of products like diapers and meat trays from the supermarket. They get dumped by the billions daily.
Why not? Makes more sense than liberal ideas.
;)
Dry conditions means cold weather somewhere. The moisture is in snow and ice at the poles or in the mountains. Somewhere. Bottomline: things are colder and rivers are drier.
The Global Warming scam is a joke.
And, it’s an even bigger joke when the “solution” to warming turns out to be the exact same “solution” to the cooling. It just means they don’t care about climate. They care about the “solution” (AKA communism).
Garbage that is acting as a sponge?
There are several lakes up here in Northern Commiefornia that are extremely low. But that has more to do with DemonicRAT politicians allowing water to flow into the oceans to protect the Delta Smelt-it and other supposedly endangered fishies.
So, yeah, in that sense, the levels are caused by man. If you can call DemonicRATS men.
It’s because of Covid.
Ice at the polar caps?
You clearly aren’t from Ontario.
Lots of water in lakes. Far more than in rivers and streams. An insane amount of the province’s land is filled by water. I am certain that at any given moment there is far more water in the lakes in Ontario than in the clouds or in the beer store.
Time to tax the water cycle.
too many river sponges-
I say wind turbines.
Of course, you could also look at Nestle, who has been allowed to take as much water as it wants, dehydrating at will.
My computer is down and my phone is cumbersome for research, but go look up all the aquifers, lakes, wells, and rivers the rogue company has drained.
The CEO has said water should be controlled by “private companies”.
How much is Nestle pulling from our water sources?
Not to mention the extreme overuse out west - building thousands and thousands of homes in places like Gilbert, AZ; and the gross mismanagement by California.
For the last 30 years, scientists didn’t get grants unless they hewed to the politically correct line on global warming, then climate change (when the global warming line wasn’t working so well).
Do you think that has had any effect on all this?
Eisenhower warned us of this in his farewell speech, right after warning of the military-industrial complex. He was an incredibly prescient man.
Maybe if California stopped draining it into the ocean to save a species of useless bait fish there would be more fresh water available. I’m too old to care anymore - people are getting what they’ve voted for over the last 60+ years. The chickens are coming home to roost, the tax man is at the door.
They stopped calling to “Global Warming”....now opting for the all encompassing term “Climate Change”. That way they can hedge their bets better.
Political rhetoric! Vast waves of foul hot air! Frequently mistaken for “climate change”.
Trust the Science.
We will cherry pick the data points to ensure the results confirm our predetermined outcome.
