False.

We have been drawing down aquifers at rates 200x replenish capabilities....so no. It isn't in balance.





Bringing water up from aquifers will not result in a noticable increase in water vapor. The biggest contributor to the presence of water vapor is the temperature which regulates evaporation. However, water vapor also results in a higher albedo effect due ot the formation of clouds which then results in less solar radiation and thus a decrease in temperatures. Water's cycle naturally remains in equilibrium due to the albedo effect. CO2 has natural sinks in living organisms, but it is a very slow process and we are rapidly reversing that process by digging up CO2 stores and converting them into gas. I am not a climate change alarmist by the way. I think our current rate of technological progression will end our fossil fuel use in time to avoid dramatic alterations to the climate.

Lol. Yep. Water vapor forms clouds.

Because of differences in evaporation between fresh and salt water it does.

You do know the number 1 anthropogenic source of CO2, right?

That is quite the rebuttal.

So... that has what to do with aquifers?

Hmmm....what is the salinity of aquifer pumped water?

35 psu?

Jeez you people are hilarious. I'm going to assume you are talking about exhaling? The problem with that is that there exist a natural CO2 O2 balance between the animal kingdom and plant kingdom. Its called the food cycle. This equilibrium is kept by the fact that we require x amount of plant material for every x amount of animals on the planet. Industrial sources of CO2 obviously dont require an equal amount of CO2 absorbing plant material.

No. I'm not.

Thanks for proving you're uninformed.

Proves the fossil fuel industry can not only pay you to say something but can actually make you pretend you're brain dead. A few million dollars, likely less, was the amount Scott Pruitt was paid to give up his integrity and disown his thoughts.

Noble effort, but you're wasting your time. You're trying to reason with cultish minds...nothing you say will matter.

It's so bad that potable water will be more important than anything else...even oil.
