Earth to Earth: Climate changes. Better get used to it. It’s only been going on for billions of years.
When water does evaporates, the water molecules rise into the atmosphere, condense, form clouds, and return to earth as precipitation. It would stand to logic that more evaporation would mean more precipitation, not less, and there would be fewer areas of the world suffering drought.
Global warming theorists, by suggesting evaporation is a part of global warming, but lacking a significant increase in worldwide perception, are actually saying the water did not simply evaporate, but ceased to exist. At least that is my take on their global warming evaporation claims.
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.
