NASA's job is to find scare stories for the Grubers. Future scare: All the water is going into the atmosphere, increasing atmospheric pressure and eventually crushing us to death.

"We know we're taking more than we're putting back in—how long do we have before we can't do that anymore?" a researcher tells the Los Angeles Times. "We don't know, but we keep pumping. Which to me is terrifying." The Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains Aquifer, across the southeast and Florida, is also depleting, the study finds. Still, aquifers in poor, densely populated areas like northwest India, Pakistan, and North Africa, are in the worst shape. Researchers say the Arabian Aquifer, used by more than 60 million people, shows little to no sign of replenishment. Aquifers take thousands of years to refill as it is. Famiglietti notes there’s an added problem in that people nearest the equator pump more water from aquifers to cope with dry conditions, but that water then evaporates and circulates far away to the north and south. "There's not an infinite supply of water," he concludes. "We need to get our heads together on how we manage groundwater, because we’re running out of it." Interesting theory that scientists now believe to be true about dinosaurs. They believe that initially, the dinosaurs lived no where near the equatorial zones because the climate was too harsh. Later, the climate improved and dinosaurs were able to occupy the equatorial zones. Now scientists believe the equator is going back to that harsh climate. So then, what do we do with all the people who live there now?
