What does 10 TRILLION gallons of water even equate to?

Does not matter how supposedly "little" in your opinion RV's are contributing to the supposed climate change problem as some see it. The fact is they -are- contributing to it (if the problem even exists), just like any other fossil fuel burning vehicle. If someone -truly- believed that man is having a detrimental and negative effect on the earth's climate and environment via pollution, and that we have to change our ways to prevent catastrophe, they would not be contributing to said pollution any more than they possibly needed to.

Driving around in a gas-guzzling RV is not minimizing one's footprint to implement said change, that according to some, must happen. Especially when it is done for nothing more than sight-seeing. RV's are burning 2-3 times more fuel than the personnal vehicles you lamented about.

It is hypocrisy at it's finest. Especially when someone is throwing around the typical and worn-out accusations of "science deniers."

But I understand that the truth can be hard to accept at times, especially when one is looking at one's self in the mirror.

What is it .... all or nothing with regards to GW - otherwise one is a "GW hypocrit"? I disagree that one's only choices are to be whole hog into "green" ... or live the life of a dogmatic denier polluter.

Recreational use of fossil fuels pales in comparison to the daily-running-around/non-public-transportation use of fossil fuels that 7-8 billion people are doing, which leads to this -> if the world's population was at a running total no greater than around 1/7 th of what it is, we could all live paying less attention to fossil fuel use while at the same time not be ruining the Earth. What's the obvious present and future real problem here?

P.S. Gary (the OP) ... sorry for this gigantic segue off your original heavy rains topic!! The way it's going, we're finally not going to run out of water this summer at our residence from a dry spring and well plus, more importantly, we'll be able to once again tow our small boat behind our RV to a CA lake that actually has water and fish in it. :) :C
