We don't have enough things to worry about. So, people are
inventing new things to worry about.
"Woman warns against the dangerous phenomenon that is ‘trapped water’: ‘I’ve never thought about this’"
"One TikToker recently created a video titled “Free the water!†to inform her viewers about the dangers of “trapped water†and the need to dump out liquids contained in plastic bottles that
aren’t going to be used.
“I’m on this quest to dump out any water that gets trapped in plastic,†Kati (@spreadyourdreams) told her followers. “Because once it’s trapped in these plastic bottles, we have now lost it basically forever.â€
According to the Texas Water Quality Association, trapped water is
indeed a big problem.
“In the US alone, we waste 22 million gallons of water each year
in landfills due to trapped water inside plastic water bottles,â€
the organization wrote on the QWET website. “That is 22 million
gallons of water that we will never get back into the Earth’s
water cycle.â€
The organization went on to point out that fresh water makes up an
extremely small fraction of all the water on Earth, and that there
is no new water being created — the water that exists on our
planet and in the atmosphere is all there is. That means that when
we effectively take it out of circulation by trapping it
indefinitely in plastic, that decreases the total water supply for
all life."

Hey, rastaman, this is serious stuff. We're already making the
planet we live on wobble. The next thing you know we could be doing
the limbo, under Mars.
"Humans pumped so much groundwater out of the Earth that the planet
has begun to wobble detectably on its axis, a new study has found.
On its own terms, the magnitude of the new wobble is slight — a
matter of millimeters, which puts it in the same approximate speed
category as Earth’s slowly drifting continents.
But the findings published earlier this month in Geophysical
Research Letters show the extent to which human action — in the
form of dam construction, groundwater drilling and the burning of
fossil fuels — are impacting the very position of the Earth.
They also provide powerful corroboration for something scientists
had long suspected but had remained unproven: the staggering
depletion of the world’s groundwater reserves over the past
several decades.
The scope of the findings released this month were startling.
Between 1993 and 2010, the scientists found, human society — and mostly human agriculture — had depleted 2,510 gigatons of water.
That’s the equivalent of 600 cubic miles of lost freshwater, more
than five times the volume of Lake Erie or half the volume of Lake
Huron.
At that rate, we would run through the equivalent of the 2,900
cubic miles of water that fill Lake Superior by the end of the
century.
That speed of depletion reflects a global threat."

400 million years ago Oregon was underwater off the coast of
Idaho, and we were further south. Oregon is made of the stuff that
has been scraped up by the North American plate as it broke off
from Pangea and started moving west. If the planet wobbles who
knows what we might scrape up or where we could end up?

Don't forget about all those humans in colorful spandex jogging and
running and racing hither and thither. All that thumping and bumping and transitory acceleration and deceleration is probably screwing up the
magma currents, and contributing to the wobble. Follow the science:
screw with the magma and the Earth will wobble. I mean, hey, look, dude, like, just look, you know, at a powered up lava lamp if you think I'm statistically insignificantly bullshitting you.

I don't see the problem. When all the glaciers and ice shelves melt,
we'll have plenty of water and Oregon will be back underwater like the
old gods originally intended it to be.
