1. Adaptation to climate change can be delayed the death of life on the planet for several years, decades. It is necessary to search for the true reasons for the increase in natural disasters and the deterioration of the climate. I propose a new vision of the situation.

         Science has not yet unraveled all the properties of water. We use it as a simple working fluid agent. Water affects not only the environment, but also the climate. As a result of human activity, the functions of the main part of the water have changed. Instead of keeping the biota by supplying it with moisture, mineral and organic substances, the water comes with precipitation and returns to the atmosphere by artificial evaporation from arable land, asphalt, reservoirs, dumps. In total, people took from nature 63% of the inhabited earth, each hectare of which contains 20 tons of underground living creatures. These are microbes, worms, etc. insects that, in symbiotic relationship with plants and terrestrial populations, absorb moisture, transform in food chains and economically exhale highly individual pairs, which we call natural or organic vapors. Human intervention in the circulation of water reduces food chains, and water from asphalt and other destroyed areas evaporates immediately after precipitation. We call these evaporation artificial. More artificial fumes are produced by industry and utilities around the world. Giant artificial evaporation creates unprecedented volumes of water in the atmosphere, which have changed for centuries the worked out mechanism of atmospheric phenomena. The cyclicity, massiveness and ranges of precipitation have changed. Therefore, some areas suffer from floods, and others - from drought and fires. Let us give an example of just one aspect - man-made reservoirs. Several hundred new reservoirs are being commissioned annually on the globe. The total area of ​​all the reservoirs of the world is more than 600 thousand km2. Many of the world's rivers - the Volga, the Dnieper, the Angara, Missouri, Colorado, Parana and others - have been turned into cascades of reservoirs. Evaporation from their waters is artificial, nature is not provided.

           The purpose of this speech is to attract the attention of the academic world to create a group for the proof of the Hypothesis. This will create a new unified concept for the preservation of life on the planet. The basis of this concept should be the all-round return to nature of organic fumes and the reduction of artificial fumes. Among measures to reduce artificial fumes should be the total total water saving in everyday life by each person. Complete and unconditional stop of projects and construction of reservoirs. Reconstruction of the entire agricultural sector with the introduction of unmanned plowing, drip irrigation, etc.
