Going with A this round! "Scientists Discover New Method of Harvesting Rainwater Could Sustain Small Towns" just screams real to me—probably because if there’s a new gadget or clever hack for catching a bit more water, you know someone’s bound to write about it. The other two sound a bit too dramatic; 90% of the world with clean drinking water? If only! And if NASA said we’d lost 70% of freshwater, I think folks would be a lot more panicky, or at least rationing their showers even more than we already do.

Headline B almost had me for a second; guess I’m just hopeful. Media these days does love a good “earth is doomed” headline though. Smart to keep the brain sharp and do a double-take with every crazy article we see.

Anyone else wish headline B was
