No, I don't need to do anything for you, so go fucked yourself.

the Colorado river is almost empty, as is the Mississippi river.

something serious is wrong here.. our drinking water is disappearing.

LOL there's a multi-year la nina weather system the watershed has been dry lately

Watershed? Can you remember the Mississippi ever going dry? I bet not.

Yes, watershed. It drains over three million square miles, which have been dry due to the planet stabilizing its temperature using the el nino/la nina system on the other side of the world. This will continue at least through this year, but a 4th year would be highly unusual.

a previous low https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Vhf6UbE5s50/UP2JDqNNFYI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/4z9yNjjCe00/s1600/2010+belle+chasse.png

from https://cuahsihis.blogspot.com/2013/01/extremes-on-mississippi-river.html

very recent, mentioning that we're still several feet away from previous records, but of course it's not a self-stabilizing system it's your fault for using plastic straws: https://a-z-animals.com/blog/the-mississippi-drought-explained-why-is-the-river-drying-up/

A saner take: it's dry out there, but not the worst ever https://www.wvik.org/environment/2021-06-21/no-records-yet-but-mississippi-river-at-very-low-levels

They won't let shipping cease on the river either in case you're worried but p.s. i didn't notice you concerned about all the poison that comes from shipping https://www.businessinsider.com/mississippi-river-drought-may-be-over-us-army-corps-dredging-2023-1?op=1

I must have missed the part about using straws, would you mind rephrasing that?

i was joking about the people who seriously think it makes a difference but https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/story/every-straw-counts-fight-against-climate-change

Ok, you were joking..

When I posted an article stating that perhaps we have fkd up our water tables by drilling too deep, you attempted to poke holes in my topic by "joking".?

Just fyi, I am not joking.

I can remember the river flooded over back in early 90s late 80s

It might sound like I'm just tossing up nonsense into the air by bringing up this topic but I'm not I am truly concerned because I see the Colorado River which is the water that's held back by the Hoover dam over by Las Vegas that river is almost empty and now there's news about the Mississippi River that is going dry to the point that they can't get the barges up and down the River which is something I've never heard of before now maybe it's happened but I've never heard it there's also stuff in the news that the Euphrates River somewhere over in the Middle East is going dry I want to tell you something if humans run out of fresh drinking water there's really no bigger problem we really that we can have except for not having air to breathe if you run out of fresh water wow
