I agree with what I’ve read of their conclusions, but the way they presented them reads like a propaganda piece, which annoys me. Been watching this climate problem since I first learned of it back in the 1980s. Doesn’t sound like they’ve learned anything new or have any sort of a plan.

I mean, the title is just wildly incorrect.
The water cycle has been disrupted and altered hundreds of times in human history, sometimes even caused by humans.
The industrial revolution would be the last major event. We were literally using so much water, we could chart the changes by observing droughts in the Southern Hemisphere caused by Europe’s spreading Industrial Revolution.
The 1930s and the New Deal saw the government create thousands of miles of paved roads, dams and hydroelectric power. The changes to the regional water cycle in places like the Pacific Northwest alter the flow of thousands of miles of river, created reservoirs that otherwise would exist, etc. Those actions directly effected the seasonal flow patterns of water run off, causing all sorts of issues with fish, water tables, and forest habitat.

Why we are fighting conventional wars and significantly exacerbating this issue just enrages me. Everything Russia is doing is just rage- bait for me, but especially on this issue.

[25 years ago, scientists at Oxford University did an entire 10 year study on it](https://academic.oup.com/bioscience/article/50/9/753/269247)

Have they tried turning it off and then on again?
You people are so gullible
