re: Trapped water dilemma. Is this the reason it doesn't rain anymore.

We pour leftover bottled water in our dog's bowls. They piss it in the yard. Puppies are doing their part.

Louisiana is right by the Gulf of Mexico. It’s an unlimited water supply for summer rains.

OysterPoBoy says no bro, that's salt water.
Also said that rainwater falls out of the sky, not from ocean water...

What about the water trapped in plants? Leaves may recycle, but tree trunks store water out of the hydrologic cycle. Maybe if we cut down enough trees?
Only partly kidding. We're not growing the big cottonwoods along western rivers any more. The cottonwoods that would be alive but rotten on the inside that were spacious enough for early explorers to live in even though their standard of living was pretty low, it beat being rained and snowed on.

False. Volcanic eruptions create new water. The big underwater volcano erruption a few years back put so much new water vapor into the atmosphere some scientists were concerned it could weaken the ozone layer.
It will always amaze me how “scientists” just make up shite to scare people into believing nonsense.

I guess the earth isn’t 2/3 water anymore?

This is a lie. If salt water turned into rain, coastal areas would have more rain than continental areas and that’s impossible because beaches have sand and it’s impossible to have sand in places that rain. Look at the Saharan desert

holy cow, you think we have less rainfall because of trapped water in landfills? How dense are you?

Imagine thinking 22 million gallons is a lot

What’s the water volume of 10 inches of rain across Louisiana?
9 trillion gallons which is an insignificant amount of water compared to what is on the planet.
For a size comparison, the Mississippi River discharges 3.69 million gallons per second. 9 trillion gallons is 28 days of river flow.

i’m not sure, but I’m definitely comfortable letting our Federal Government decide for us on how to resolve the problem.

I am amazed at how much ignorance there is in this thread, granted mostly from the OP. And this from someone who had to take 11th grade science over in summer school.

I actually read that last week as part of my research for this post. I think the problem is science doesn't know what will happen if you start to move that water to the surface. It could be catastrophic.
Have you 'researched' how much earth water escapes our atmosphere and lost to outer space?
25,920 liters per day or 6,847.34 US liquid gallons/day
We are losing around 20 million gallons of water into outer space every 8 years.
To someone with a very microscopic view that does not comprehend how much water is actually on earth, 20 million gallons lost to outer space or 'trapped in water bottles', would conclude that the earth would be a dried husk in around 100 years....

This is excellent.

And that has been going on since the beginning of time? I've never heard of that.

In the US alone, we waste 22 million gallons of water each year in landfills due to trapped water inside plastic water bottles,"
This is an incredibly low number globally speaking.
And “forever” seems a misnomer. Especially with new species of bacteria evolving that eats plastic.

Throwing water into the upper atmosphere does not equal “making new water”

I am truely astounded by the stupidity in this thread, mainly by Mr. PoBoy.
