  1. global warming is not a reality. It's something someone made up to get money from people to support a fake cause.


  2. First off let me just say global warming is still a theory.  And if it does happen a lot of storms would increse in severity since more water is in the atmosphere.  Land fresh water might increase but not much of it would be drinkable.  At this rate I would be more worried about the affects of pollution on water rather than the theory of Global Warming's affect

  3. melting ice,

    Most of the worlds fresh water is locked in Ice

    Apart from the melting ice,We are loosing a lot of potable water ,by damaging its production with deforestation.

    As well as over using or wasting it,with extravagant or inefficient irrigation systems.

    .

    It goes without saying that gross overuse of water and waste leads to unnecessary energy spend on filtration,treatment and pumping

    ------------------------------...

    25% of the planets surface is land

    75%of the surface is water and it is rising

    ------------------------------..

    97%of the Earths water is salt

    fresh water is only 3% of all the Earths water

    most of it is beyond out reach

    of this 3 %

    74% is locked in ice  at the poles and in glaziers on the worlds mountains,and this is melting and running into the seas

    -------------------------------------

    --------------------------------------

    groundwater 800 meters + 13.5 %

    groundwater less than 800meters 11.o%

    Lakes 0.3%

    soils 0.006%

    Atmospheric in circulation 0.0035%

    rivers 0.03%

    frozen land or permafrost is not included and represent an unavailable storage of 40%

    so of the 3% about 11.6 ,is easily available to us ,in rivers, lakes and ground water surface aquifers,more and more of this is becoming contaminated

    Because there is so little that we can use

    WE SHOULD  HARVEST WATER

  4. WARMING WATER

    Consequence: more powerful and dangerous hurricanes

    Warmer water in the oceans pumps more energy into tropical storms, making them more intense and potentially more destructive.
