Seriously...
The Chinese will piss that water into their sewage systems, where it will eventually find its way back into the natural environment, where it will evaporate, then turn to clouds which blow into the Pacific, then fall as rain over North America - thus finding its way back home again.
This is much ado about nothing, methinks.
So where are the eco-socialists? Oh that’s right, they want us to be just like china.
Sounds like Nestle is actually ripping off the Chinese.
So is this saying that Nestlé water is coming from Lake Michigan?
I’m having a hard time imagining that there’s any possibility of transporting sufficient quantities of water by ship to affect the Great Lakes to any noticeable extent.
this is not important.
the article says nestle can sell 250,000 gallons a day as bottled water.
at that rate it would take 14,000 years to empty the lake (assuming no net additions or deletions of current water).
By then, there is a good chance the Ice sheets will have returned covering the entire area.
Lake Erie is only 4,000 years old and has a depth of only 62 feet (average). The bottom of erie is rising too.
The Great Lakes as we know them are a wonderful if temporary resource.
Ha! And they are going to get the zebra mussels too!
Globalization. The great idol of those whose worship of trade and the marketplace overrules every other interest.
I heard about another scheme where believe it or not, the Canadians are actually stealing America’s water right out of Lake Superior, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and Lake Huron!
There are some things that should be ‘let go’....and this is one of them. Nestle can’t possibly have a meaningful impact on the lake by bottling water out of it.
What are the sources for this story ‘cause I couldn’t find any.
Hard to believe it would be worth shipping to Asia. Nestle water sells for about $0.25 a bottle retail in Thailand which is about the same as local brands, in other words, not at a premium. I assume the price in China is similar.
Two words can explain what’s happening in the Great Lakes Basin. Hydrologic Alteration. Mankind has exceeded the amount of water he can store behind dams in reservoirs around the World. Since the 1940’s,the Chinese alone have dammed up more water than 4 of the 5 Great Lakes, over 8,000 cubic kilometers. They are also exporting their craft of engineering and building dams all over the World. The Amazon River and it’s tributaries are currently being developed. This is having a huge impact on ancient weather patterns and...wait...CLIMATE CHANGE!!! If carbon emissions were really the problem, we would all be dead from black lung by now.
Mighty expensive water.
Mighty expensive water.
Everything this phony communist president does is so downright stupid and at the same time evil that it should make honest Americans puke, then go do something about it!
And whatever they’re doing in Congress seems mutual.
The amount of water being sold isn’t foolish. More absurdly, it will require about 200,000 gallons of petrol to transport that much bottled water without additional shipping loads from Lake Michigan to China.
It would be much cheaper to just sell them packets of dehydrated water and let them rehydrate it when it gets there.

“Barack Obama is keeping his promise to lower the sea levels, and he’s starting with the drought plagued Midwest where Lake Michigan water is being shipped by the boat loads over to China!”
Could you please explain how taking 250,000 gallons of water a day from Lake Michigan would lower sea levels?
China has one of the longest rivers in the world. They don’t have enough water? Does China really want to depend on the US for water? Seems like they could source it from somewhere else. Not sure about this article.
