- notatoad 8y agoAFAIK, the Elbe doesn't drain into lake superior.
- goda90 8y agoI think the idea is that wet areas are getting wetter, while dry areas are getting drier as the climate becomes more extreme.
- microtherion 8y agoThey'd probably call it Über-See over there.
- Xylakant 8y agoI realize you’re joking, but Übersee is a german word that denotes everything across the ocean. (Der See => the lake. Die See => the ocean)
- microtherion 8y agoAh yes, I'm a native German speaker, but it hadn't occurred to me that "Übersee" does indeed mean "Overseas". It's a different meaning for both "über" and "see" than I had in mind.
