    DiHydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the unstable radical Hydroxide, the components of which are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.

    Thousands of people die each year from DHMO inhalation.

    Among the many commonly-sited DHMO-related environmental impacts are:
    • DHMO contributes to global warming and the "Greenhouse Effect", and is one of the so-called "greenhouse gasses."
    • DHMO is an "enabling component" of acid rain -- in the absence of sufficient quantities of DHMO, acid rain is not a problem.
    • DHMO is a causative agent in most instances of soil erosion -- sufficiently high levels of DHMO exacerbate the negative effects of soil erosion.
    • DHMO is present in high levels nearly every creek, stream, pond, river, lake and reservoir in the U.S. and around the world.
    • Measurable levels of DHMO have been verified in ice samples taken from both the Arctic and Antarctic ice caps.
    • Recent massive DHMO exposures have lead to the loss of life and destruction of property in California, the Mid-West, the Philippines, and a number of islands in the Caribbean, to name just a few.
    • Research has shown that significant levels of DHMO were found in the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 which killed 230,000 in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and elsewhere, making it the deadliest tsunami in recorded history.
    • It is widely believed that the levee failures, flooding and the widespread destruction resulting from Hurricane Katrina along the U.S. Gulf Coast in 2005 were caused or exacerbated by excessive DHMO levels found in the Gulf of Mexico, along with other contributing factors.

    Yeah, water is the #1 "greenhouse gas," a dirty little secret that the "environmental" wackos don't want to admit to, because then how would they blame so-called "global warming" on man?

    And if this chemical is so "bad," then what is it good for? Reading that, I had a distinct impression that I was hearing but only "half the story." Why would any company/evil greedy corporation, made any "bad" chemical at all, if it was not "needed" for some purpose?

    And yeah, water has been known to be a major causitive agent in such things as erosion. And letting water overtop levees (i.e. such as during a hurricane storm surge, sure to happen eventually) without a proper erosionproof spillway, that is a very common source of levee and natural dam failures.
