OK, I hear the term "peak water" and know the idea behind it, but I can't wrap my mind around the idea that water will become scarcer as the globe warms, unless it escapes our atmosphere into space.
The way I see it, warmer temperatures, combined with a larger water surface on the earth, (rising sea levels, covering what once was "dryland") should make more clouds, and while warmer air can hold higher levels of water vapor, don't the clouds rain eventually? I think water capturing systems might be of benefit in the future... Unless I'm missing something. Someone, please explain this to me... I mean, I do see that there's lower water flow in some of the waterways in my area, and in my yard, but in my yard, what once was weeds and scrub is now trees, and I think that in this case, the trees are drawing water from the ground, diminshing the flow of the streams... The trees are also contributing to the evaporation of ground water as it is drawn up through the trunk, branches and leaves, bringing the earth's minerals through every part of its being, before finally evaporating from it from the surface of its leaves... doug swanson Doug Younker wrote: >Interesting.
