“Based on climate models” what models? Yhose that have been wrong every time?
Now-a-days, anytime I want an especially jolly laugh, I go look through some establishment science reports.
Hooo-wheee!
Gallumphs galore with those hooty-bagels.
What if we pumped progressives into the depleted groundwater areas?
Pretty much utter balderdash.
Every climate change shriek dooesn’t deserve to be regurgitated.
So they admit that the model did not accurately forecast what actually happened, but then did a "study" to show what would have happened had the model been accurate? Basically they're acting like a sports show host who predicts a team will win the Super Bowl and then goes on the air after the team loses and explains how if they had won, this would have been the score and who would have gotten the touchdowns. Wait, almost forgot: the media would do a story saying how the team won and who got the touchdowns. I think I got it now.
It strikes me as false too. I’m often wrong but water, like electricity simply changes form but does not go away. Every drop since God created the earth is still here on this planet in some form.
Exactly
Re
Houston, I have found the problem:
Based on climate models,
^^^
Plus
’ scientists previously estimated humans ... But validating that estimate is difficult.’
Now all we need is an official ‘consensus’ to justify more constraints on human behavior.
The earth has had that little wobble ever since God set it spinning.
“Based on climate models…”
Reading any further is a waste of time. Those models are useless GIGO.
“OH MY GOD WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!”
Yes, we are; the only question is when and how.
Using models to represent the reality of the world = Ignorance in, ignorance out…
It’s Voodoo Science.

Most of the distribution of groundwater was in North America and western India??? Why? Could it be that these two nations have excellent reporting of wells, where almost all other nations on other continents do not? I suspect this study suffers from data availability bias. Their amount of water removed from groundwater is AWAG (a wild ass guess), not based on any empirical data, and they used it along with other non-existent data (ocean rise) to explain the minuscule polar wander precession which has been measured and documented for centuries before supposed global warming changed any ice masses on Antarctica to raise the water levels. No measurable rises of average sea level of any significant amount, certainly not of 0.25” over 17 years from just added ground water has been seen. In addition, to claim this is addition to rises in ocean levels from melting ice caps during 2000 to 2010 when a cooling period was occurring is ludicrous.
I had to go look it up: the polar axis of the Earth drift and moved 10 meters, 11 feet, during the 20th Century… a rate of 4” inches, or 100cm per year.
What is significant about this is this article makes the claim that in 17 years, the polar axis moved a dire 68”, almost 2 meters… a good percentage of it due supposed increased anthropogenic groundwater drilling and pumping causing a quarter inch rise in global ocean levels (ignoring that is not the theoretical methodology proposed for the bulk of axis drift, but rather the mass of ice buildup on Greenland), but 68” divided by the 17 years of the study shows the axis motion during those years was…. Wait for it… 4” per year! Exactly the same random motion about the pole location as the 100 preceding years!
Oh, my God, poor Polaris is going to be unseated as the Pole Star… Thuban will become then new North Star in just a short … 6,000 years!
Oh, panic! Run in circles! Ban wells! Prohibit pumping water from the ground! The Earth is going to tilt over! Run and shout. Throw money at us and we will solve this existential crisis!
This is these authors’ version of Dark Matter and Dark Energy… to get their model to the observed 68”, they were 31” short… so they muddied the waters by putting in fudge factors of Dark Water. 😂 Only then did their model work… a close reading shows it to be true. “Estimate” = WILD ASS GUESS that Just exactly gave them the results they wanted? Right, sure!
...and then some.
Just stop bathing ,washing clothes, cars, drinking water,
flushing toilets ,you know ,the things we all need to do to keep the earth from dying.
