Global Warming claims fail truth in advertisng

and why was someone wearing a crown fetching their own water?

nothing tastes like a nice glass of muddy water.

Do you think they had toilets with a flush back then? IF they had an outhouse type they didn't use the water for that.

So they were either using it for washing clothes, drinking it, or they could have been using it to mop the dirt floors in their wooden hut with a sod roof, that would probably weight about 10 tons because of all the rain.

Wonder no more.

Why would anybody dig a well at the top of a hill?

Did a stream start at he top of the hill? Did they have a cistern up there?

Shocking isn't it?

Using your logic if there is no cistern, there would be no water running downhill.


Did a stream start at the top of the hill?


Would you be surprised if it did/could?

Do you know what a cistern is? My farm has one. You don't let what it has collected run downhill. You save it and draw it out when you need it. In any case, in the past when I dealt with mine or the wells on my property, I didn't give any thought whatever to old nursery rhymes. Perhaps, I should have said I didn't let them befuddle my crown (grin).

and when people draw on it the water does run downhill if that's where you want/need the water.

It makes sense to have the cistern at the highest point that's why they put them on towers, platforms or stilts whatever they call them.

Why put it on the lowest point and then have to pump the water uphill where you need it?

The towns water reservoir is a tower built on the highest point and it is on a tower about 100 feet high. Let gravity do some of the work.

I don't think you know. Usually, a cistern is underground. The water drains from the roof into the gutters, and via a pipe into the cistern. Gravity is the power that fills it. When you need it, you pump it out.

usually...does that mean always/only?

A receptacle for holding water or other liquid, especially a tank for catching and storing rainwater.

Why pump the rain water up, when gravity would cause it to fill the tank? Perhaps Grimgraphix can fill you in, he has mentioned visiting the town near the farm I own. A lot of the older houses there have cisterns. They are easy to spot, if you know what to look for - a pipe running down the house from the end-sealed gutters down and into the house. Inside, there is a "Y" valve that lets you send the water into the cistern or off to a field or someplace.

I never respond to his bait. Endless, pointless rides to nowhere and irrelevant, foolish circular ramblings all calculated to kill real discussion.

and THEN waste your valuable time and keystrokes.

calculated to kill real discussion.

Jack and Jill? you brought them up first, I'll play your silly game, and for a longer time.

you didn't even talk about my posts.

could that possibly explain why about 99% of alerts by
SE members are from you?

maybe you should pay attention to them.

If he continues to stalk, I will continue to send alerts.

is it not?

NO.

You first

Why didn't Jack and Jill just get their bucket of water from the flash floods? Seems to me they could have collected several buckets full and saved themselves future trips up the hill.

Water usually accumulates in lower elevations. I've always wondered why they went up a hill to fetch a pail of water. Methinks they might have been up to something else.

You started talking about why a nursery rhyme doesn't make sense...I just carried on with your silly discussion.

They could also collect tears in their bucket, I heard they taste salty.

Here is a link to a story about it including a picture of the ad. Look at it. What is the small roofed structure with a winch in the picture? Link:

That could be uphill from the mill.

went up the hill for a little hanky-panky
jill came down with 20 pounds
jack must have been a yankee

Do you think this is the first time for excessively hyperbolic claims by the AGW supporters? ...

AGW.

Probably not, but also probably matched by the over-stated, distorted, fabricated, histrionic and exaggerated anti-AGW supporters. (Is that right, Anti Anthropogenic Global Warming?).

Provide some examples.

What hyperbolic claims were made?
