What does 10 TRILLION gallons of water even equate to?
That's one weather prediction for southern California in the next week. Gary Haupt

westend,
First of all, the OP's thread was about the volume of water that 10 trillions of gallons is really like. Not "climate science"! GW diehards always try to change any of these type of threads to "The sky is falling" because humans are being humans and trying to better their lives whereever they live. It gets SO old!
I'm all for greatly lowering pollution everywhere where it's truely productive and economically feasible and sensible but it must be done and balanced against real life, living, and the conditions it causes, plus costs involved to make such insignificant gains or even no gain at all. So far, most efforts have been and proven to be simply robbing Peter to pay Paul and have made virtually no real gains at all world wide!
Coal/dino burning can be very environmentally clean and safe but trying to eliminate the use of coal or dino is not the way as it's simply burying your head in the sand as usual rather than conquering the issues as should be done. Making one sector/area/nation feel good while shoving the downside down the throat of other sectors/areas/nations is certainly not the way either. The USA does NOT control what or how any other country or people live or pollute the air, land, or sea!
Sun and wind energy is SO far yet from being reliable and yet comes at an extreme cost to build, maintain, and replace for so little output. Needs so much more development! Nuclear power is by far the most efficient and less costly per KW produced over it's plant lifetime but it also has possible polluting waste that has to be used/consumed before it's clean too. Much more work needs to be done on that front also! Not impossible!
Climate science is not just for a few centuries but really should include 2-6 billions of years of known and proven happenings of our planet Earth as history almost always repeats itself over and over just like our planet's long billions of years history has so clearly shown! The planet Earth is not likely to be going anywhere soon or even billions of years from now nor will the sun cease to shine or rain cease from falling or plant life, insect life, animal life, or the oceans and land disappear from the planet. Climate change is and always has been going on for billions of years now and man can only have a tiny miniscule effect at most on it's true vastness.
