So much groundwater is now being pumped that it is filling the oceans as it drains off land,
becoming one of the largest drivers of global sea level rise.

The idea is to provide a safe haven and a fertile ground for the next generation of scientists to work in peace and freedom to solve the most significant challenges of our time; but the geopolitical argument will prevail. As Jorge Luis Borges said in his short story “Nathaniel Hawthorne” from his book “Other Inquisitions” (1952):
“The past is indestructible; sooner or later all things return, and one of the things that return is the project to abolish the past.”

William Aspray
There was a moment in which Kurt Gödel, Albert Einstein, and John von Neumann were all roaming the halls of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton at the same time. Let that information sink in. Humanity experiences such gatherings of brilliant minds in a remote location of the space-time continuum only every so often; maybe the ancient Greeks and the men of the Renaissance witnessed such periods in time, as did the IAS staff at the end of World War II. How much will we have to wait f…

Illinois Lawmakers Vote to Limit Carbon Sequestration Near a Major Aquifer - Inside Climate News
A bill passed by the Illinois legislature could slow the growth of carbon sequestration proposals—and proposals, in particular, for projects located near an aquifer that is the sole source of drinking water in some communities.   If Gov. JB Pritzker signs the law, hundreds of thousands of residents in central Illinois who rely on the Mahomet […]

It’s a vicious cycle:
Pumping for groundwater is dehydrating our world.
And yet, people take more water from underground due to need, when climate-driven heat and drought are at their worst.
