“58,000 Olympic sized swimming pools sounds literally like a drop in the bucket;”

Considering there is over 660,430 gallons in a single Olympic sized pool, that would mean roughly 38,304,940,000 gallons of water(multiply the gallons x 58,000).
Now convert that to water vapor. It’s easily trillions of cubic feet of vapor that was put into the atmosphere.

Given that the surface area of Earth is about 197 million square miles (510 million square kilometers), there’s around 37.5 million-billion gallons of water in the atmosphere, Fabry said. If all of this mass were to fall at once, it would raise the global ocean level by about 1.5 inches (3.8 centimeters), he added.https://www.livescience.com/how-much-water-earth-atmosphere

What do you think?
