Actually, we are losing water (or rather, the earth's water is gradually becoming inaccessible). Millions of gallons is subducted into seafloor trenches every year, and much of it never resurfaces through volcanoes.
That reminds me of the protestor who didn't want a hydro-electric dam built who was literally crying while speaking to the powers that be, about how all those precious little molecules of water would be sliced and diced by those horribly sharp blades on those godawful TURBINES!!! Boooohoooo... (snort!)
I disagree. See my earlier posts. Maybe you and I are both wrong, and it is exactly the same, because of your reasons, and mine?
