Especially interesting for those who are still convinced humanity has not terraformed this planet - and contributed massively in the process to Climate Change...

Which merely serves to confirm once again that we humans really are feckin idiots - in spades!

Yes but it's not so much individuals in and of themselves it's the corporations that are most damaging plus far too many individual humans all consuming etc.

As has been said before - over population.
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche

Nestle makes a habit of taking water from various places.

And they're not alone.

How they're able to get away with it is bad enough; contemplating that there are people in our world who are capable of such utter greed is sickening.

Wait until the water stored from the Fukushima nuclear disaster is poured into the Pacific Ocean. We have to back China on its concerns.

I think the Pacific is big enough to water that lot down to safe levels myself. However, I remain staunchly anti nuke.

It (Pacific) sure is big, and growing every day apparently. Who built the Ocean, and who approved it? (I'm fairly sure there's lawyers just itching to act for aggrieved claimants.)

I remember flying over it, at night, Auckland to San Francisco, in a plane with only four passengers besides me, and thinking if we went down we'd be too far from land to expect help. So I read my book instead of thinking.

I am not a good flyer.

Maybe our bottled water being shipped to China is also putting the earth off balance?

Personally I drink water from the tap.  

One thing though - much of the water from aquifers makes its way out anyway.  And .24 inches of sea level rise and 2 feet of polar shift?  Not exactly big movement.
