Mega Drought to Hit U.S.

**hunter63** · 02-16-2015, 03:44 PM

This isn't new news.....

Water depletion from the deep well aquifers have been discussed for many years.

My senior class paper was based on this subject, major reference was a book by William O Douglas....which had been excerpted and printed in part in Playboy Magazine back then.
Pump water that has been there for millions of years, and take a deduction for doing it.

A good friend of mine I have know since High School is a Environmental Scientist at a major University in Sweden. (She is originally from England) She has published many well respected and peer reviewed scientific papers on global climate change related topics. And edited a major university textbook on the topic. My opinion is that it is a natural cycle that humans have a minor effect on. But much like economic recessions it is difficult to be definitive about the cycle and what all the major contributing factors are until it is almost over. So about 300 years from now humans will probably be about 98% certain of it all. LOL That's my story and I'm sticking to it. This PhD scientist friend of mine always told me I was a cynic, we had a great "rock sharpens rock" friendship and still do. Good times.

while hitchhiking once from jacksonhole ,wy to idahofalls.id i got a ride from a potato farmer and got to see all the potato bunkers if you will
it was very interresting . i was on my way back from camping out on the national elk reffuge just outside of jacksonhole,wy.
\oh and the view of the teton mountain range was enough to take your breath away.

I believe it. That's a part of the country I have not seen nearly enough of.

This lovely lady has an initiative to give 1 billion trees the "day off" and go "car free for one day" and "save the planet". Because we care and want to avoid the mega drought. Well I'm not actually that cynical, but I did enjoy Jimmy Kimmel's sense of humor. Also I really want this lady's cut off promotional T-shirt, never seem to have enough rags around to mop up spilled soda pop. LOL

Seriously coal power plants and internal combustion engines also contribute to lung diseases that impact human health around the world, and shorten people's life. And walking, riding bikes, taking mass transit is not that bad. In fact while in cities like NYC, Paris, London, I prefer to use mass transit over a rented car or taxi. I'm laughing with Stana Katic not at her. How much these fossil fuels contribute to global climate change and how much humans can seriously change that is difficult to determine with a high degree of certainty.

So do cow farts but what's a guy to do?

On this drought thing, can you drink your urine?

When I am in Wichita Falls, Texas I can drink my own urine because the city filters it for me so it comes out of the tap.

Also if you make a solar still or use a forward osmosis filter you probably could.

OH and besides vegetation and fresh cow pies be sure to pee under that solar still before you seal it up and suck on the tube. (This illustration does not show tube in container under plastic sheet that goes up to top of hole in ground for user to suck out fresh water with, but if possible do that.) Good luck with that! LOL I prefer to just hike on out of there if at all possible. Solar stills are about as effective as a screen door on a submarine. ha ha ha

If you had a large budget but a small "space" you could use one of these:

"centrifugal distiller: and the result pee that's cleaner than any water you've had in your mouth recently." So go ahead Rick drink your pee. Or if it freaks you out avoid Outer Space and Wichita Falls, Texas.

"take a drink from a tap in Houston and say ‘thank you’ to your friends in Dallas for flushing their toilets"

https://stateimpact.npr.org/texas/20...ston-drinking/

So the folks in Houston, Texas drink the urine of the folks in Dallas and actually get "pissed off" when the folks in Dallas do not discharge enough water into the Trinity River for them. Truth is stranger than fiction. LOL

Playboy has articles??

**canid** · 02-18-2015, 12:15 PM

That's what I've heard. I've never bothered to notice.

Yes, I wasn't just a pretty face back then......
Also invented "cut and paste".....Write the text, on paper, cut it apart, and put in in order with scotch tape.
My paper was like 17 ft. long.....with notes.

Hunter63 I imagined you were scratching on clay tablets with reeds. How old WERE you when this paper can out? LOL How graphic where those figures drawn on the clay tablets? I have seen so shocking scenes depicted in ancient Mesopotamia. Perhaps their wells ran dry because the gods became jealous. Há ha ha
