All those rules will be a thing of the past soon, the deniers have caused a lot of time to be waisted. WE can grow here but we are going to be short of water too. Who knew you should water trees in Jan. when it dosn't rain for a month, some died.

Who are these deniers you speak of?
 
When you have lawns and yards, the local competitive ego is contrary to the conservation of water. - Perhaps the U.S. should look at modern India.

There, where the growing populations are, people live in apartment buildings (land is expensive and dear). Most buildings are 3-7 stories (parking plus 2 to 6 stories of living).

These buildings are built with dual "gray" water and "black" water systems to every apartment. The "gray" water is from sinks and showers/baths. "black" water is generally from toilets and similar uses. The common sense is that the gray water needs minimal treatment to be used in many ways and is much cheaper to treat/improve. The "black" water takes a full water treatment plant to provide very sanitary water at a high price. Since it is has been required in modern apartments and hotels to keep the quality up at a low cost. - Unfortunately, with the the existing methods, water costs in the U.S. tend to prohibit different modern systems this is based on my observations from India between 1995 - 2012.

Water will have to get way more expensive for that to happen here.
 
If and I mean a big IF that article was anywhere close to truth, how do they explain that when consumed by the human body, the liquid is filtered and eliminated as body waste? If the Onion spoke any form of truth about this then we'd all die from drinking Coke products.

Just my :2cents:
 
How can this article not be true it comes from “America’s Finest News Source”. There must be some better news sources on other continents though or they would have included them in their header.

You can’t print things on the internet unless they are fact checked and correct.

Go to the onion’s home page and do a search on global warming. You will find many well though out articles on the subject such as this.

http://www.theonion.com/articles/report-climate-change-skeptics-could-reach-catastr,36521/

The closing conclusion of that article is that “But frankly, it appears to be far too late now.”

I liked the article on How over the last 7 years Eskimos have lost 7 words for snow. That could be outweighed though as over the last two winters I picked up several new words for snow. Unfortunately I cant type them here.
