    So where does this water go after evaporating or leaking from your toilet? Is it flying into deep space and being lost for our planet forever?

      Raining over the ocean where it is no longer in the stores of freshwater these systems are pulling from

        So this doesn’t sound like a big deal after all. Maybe just stop pulling water from those “stores of freshwater” for cooling purposes and get your own from the ocean.

            Yeah, let them figure it out. It’s their problem after all. If it’s more expensive, then let them increase prices for their “data serving” activities. If it’s too expensive for some people, they might reconsider their usage of said services which in turn might be equivalent of “deleting old files or emails”. Instead of asking people deleting files right now before those in charge even tried to fix the problems they created.

            Lol, sorry, I meant that for them, not for you. Should have written ‘maybe they should just stop pulling water from those “stores of freshwater” for cooling purposes and get their own from the ocean’.
