A Facebook friend posted some stats on the flooding going on in Texas. All the rain that's fallen on the state in May comprises about 35 trillion gallons of water. That's enough to fill up California's reservoirs three times over. On the other hand, I looked up the total amount of water on the planet, and apparently it comes to 300-odd million trillion gallons—so what's been falling on Texas is a mere millionth of all the water on earth.
California couldn't even begin to affect the sea level by desalinizing water. Besides, most of that water will just end up back in the ocean anyway.
Good Lord!! that’s a staggering amount in Texas. poor people.
I would have never guessed remotely close on either the rainfall in Texas or the oceans of the earth.
