" Wildfires Blazing And Fresh Water Is Mixing With Rising Salty Oceans "
* Water Redistribution Absent *
Why is a portion of the abundant fresh water flows from the great lakes not redistributed to reverse desertification of the united states ?
Will the climate change pundits continue to blubber about rising ocean levels due to polar caps melting and absolutely ignore a seemingly convenient and obvious remedy of redistributing water rather than watching it all drain down river ?

More than 30 percent of North America is comprised of arid or semi-arid lands, with about 40 percent of the continental United States at risk for desertification [source: U.N.].
Seventeen states in the Western U.S. can be categorized as arid, semi-arid or dry subhumid based on climate and soil type; this characterizes them as vulnerable to desertification. The most severely affected areas in the U.S. are in New Mexico, Texas and on the Navajo Indian reservation in New Mexico and Arizona. Overgrazing, which has led to wind and water erosion, and poor irrigation are the leading causes of desertification in the U.S., and scientists believe it's unlikely these areas will mend naturally from the damage in the next 100 years.
With the establishment of the Soil Conservation Service after the damaging 1930s dust bowl, the U.S. recognized desertification as a national problem and the government began providing financial support and resources to put appropriate agricultural practices into place. Together, state and federal agencies and nongovernment organizations work with private ranchers, farmers and developers on technologies that help reduce soil loss, improve irrigation and draw on renewable energy sources.
. Humans are pumping out so much groundwater that it's changing Earth's tilt .
Earth's tilt has changed by 31.5 inches (80 centimeters) between 1993 and 2010 because of the amount of groundwater humans have pumped from the planet's interior.
