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

The accusations of hypocrisy in my using an 8-10 MPG small motorhome for just about our ONLY petroleum fuel based and fairly simple recreation in life is what I was reacting to - after all this is a "wheel powered camping vehicle" forum. The overall petroleum based fuel usage of wheel powered camping vehicles pales in comparison to the sum total world usage for airplane travel recreation, boat cruising recreation, ATV running around recreation, personal vehicle sightseeing recreation, etc..
The petroleum based chemicals and petroleum based fuels required for the complex lifestyles of all types all over the world of too many people is the real reason for either creating a - or speeding up a - hothouse affect that scientists (ooops - there's that word again) say is going to be a disaster for humankind. By "disaster" I don't mean one that will eliminate all humankind ... I mean one that will radically restrict how and where a much smaller populaton lives on this planet in order to be on the reduced coastal areas, avoid the large ice/snow fields, avoid the higher average temperatures, and avoid the higher average humidities.
Everyone doesn't need to do everything ... some of us need to do more and some of us are doing enough already. This is of course assuming that the quantity making up "everyone" becomes less and less. By population control I don't mean deciding who gets eliminated and who gets to stay. I mean reduction all over the world of the number of births per couple ... generation after generation going forward.
