Question:

Could global warming be caused by increased freshwater consumption?

I need some geologists here.

If more freshwater consumption = more saltwater (from drains etc)

more saltwater = more condensation

more consdensation = more clouds

more clouds = heat trapping weather

more heat trapping weather = more condensation

etc etc.

Seems to make sense. Let me know.

Thanks.

  1. NO infact water is a Greenhouse gas but it reflects the sun light cooling the planet. that is why we need some H cars.


  2. it makes no sense!

  3. NO NO NO NO! WAter Is NAtural and unless peeps eat like a bizzalion gallons a day It wont effect condensation

    Clouds have notin to do w/ it!

  4. There is no global warming.  It's a hoax.

  5. wrong

  6. Lots of things seem to make sense.  But if you check the Flying Spaghetti Monster writeup in Wikipedia you will see that they have corelated global warming with a decline in pirates.  So that must be the truth because the numbers don't lie.

  7. Global warming is caused by Al Gore talking too much.

    Fresh water is recycled continuously. The water that goes down the drain eventually makes it's way to the ocean. Where it dilutes the salt water. Your first line is flawed!

  8. mmmmmmmmmmmm

    we have less potable water because of overpopulation and loss of water deposits for a colection of reasons

    global warming is in part caused by desertification and everything is related

    here is an explanation and some counter solutions

    WATER SHORTAGE

    expanding populations use more and more Potable water(world population has doubled in the last 50 years)

    expanding agriculture that needs to keep up with the expanding popultaions uses the most ,,even more than the cities about 75% of all water reserves.

    Deep under ground Carbon aquifiers are pumped dry ,by irresponsible egoistic and greedy farmers

    .these Carbon Aquifers do not refill them selves causing sink holes often a few miles deep.

    potable water is becoming more precious by the day

    we will end up killing each other over Potable water

    some people already are

    overpopulation of an extra 70 million people a year (increasing all the time )and expanding agriculture ,which uses 70% of available potable water supplies ,has brought the good(sweet) water suplies to critical levels ,some countries have been in trouble already quite a while .

    Waterharvesting .WILL also help solve the problems

    WATER DISTRIBUTION

    97%of the Earths water is salt

    fresh water is only 3% of all the Earths water

    most of it is beyond out reach

    now much ice is melting and running into the seas fresh water lost for ever.

    STORAGE or Location of % of the fresh water

    ice and glaziers 74%

    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

    now climate change and desertification because of irresponsible agriculture ,overgrazing and deforrestation is damaging world fresh water production .

    POSITIVE ACTIONS

    it is a good reason for concern and if we do not rectify matters by changing agricultural methods ,

    promote sweet water production,(Masive reforrestation)

    take care of what we got (Nature conservation)stop deforrestation

    ,,plus strong policing on usage,as well as economic usage of water in agriculture

    and in the cities stop wasting and contaminating water,

    ,stop producing more people

    we will be in serious trouble all round

    and could end up looking like Mars .

  9. NO!

  10. Yes!

    And that's why there's global warming on Mars!  The Martians are obviously drinking too much water.

    Global warming is real.  But the idea that man is causing it, or can do anything to prevent it, is bullsh!t.
