Yes, it is insane! I hope people will ask what became of the evaporated water supposedly caused by global warming.

Yeah, I know. It is tropical moisture that would in most years have mostly fallen south of your region. I hope all works out fine for all enduring the rainfall.

Coastal states like Florida and California face a water crisis not only from increased demand, but also from rising temperatures that are causing glaciers to melt and sea levels to rise.
Okay that needs a bullsh#t flag.

Worth repeating your last paragraph:
“Some people are stupid by design. Liberals design stupid people.”

Water whets the appetite of commodity traders with an eye to the next fortune Craig Donohue, chief executive of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), said that water could become a commodity as droughts and demand place huge pressures on river systems and water tables.
Trading water as a commodity would, it is argued, put financial pressure on users to keep consumption down, in the same way that carbon emission trading schemes penalise the biggest polluters.
It would be a market-based mechanism to force greater efficiency among business users by penalising heavy consumption. While offering a lucrative option for traders, the market would be designed to reduce the pressures that are already said to have contributed to war and starvation.
