      “Drinking” it all solves nothing. The ice only reflects energy away at the poles. If it all melts nobody would notice a change in levels, the ocean is just that big.
      We would notice a gradual rise in temperatures as the place absorbs more energy than before. This heat is causing the water to expand in volume, but not in mass, filling in the coastlines.

Also, improving supply of resources means there is more capacity for human population expansion, which results in more waste, more climate change, more of every single earthly problem we're facing today. The problem with the earth is overpopulation and this is just another method of enabling the overpopulation to continue.

With 7 billion people consisting of a family unit of 4 people. You could fit everyone in the state of Texas with an average area of 66 X 66 (Feet). That would be about the average area suburban plot of land. Texas is almost 269,000 sq miles. Earth has about 24,645,000 of habitable land. This is not counting deserts and mountains.

      @egg_runner8379 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      From what i understand desalination plants don't just produce solid salt, they separate the water into extremely salty brine water, and clean fresh water. To turn the brine into usable salt would take a ton more energy (water takes a surprisingly large amount of energy to heat up and boil) to evaporate the brine water and actually produce salt. So its just way more cost effective to destroy the environment and dump it all back into the sea than actually deal with it properly.

    Just a thought here. When he said that once it was secured off shore, that workers would begin to mine it.
    Icebergs are larger than buildings and city blocks and are prone to role over. Very dangerous to even be near them, much less mine them.

      I'm guessing this would be one like the Ice Berg that sank the Titanic.
      90% of it below the water in a flat shape with a tip sticking out.

    A. Just send a freight ship, tanker or container (yes there are tanker ships capable of transportating food and therefor water).
    it will
    1) be way faster
    2) transport way more water since water takes about ⅓less space in fluid than in solid form
    B. Build your waterfarms as follows:
    1) build a place in the ocean where the seafloor can dry by heat and build locks in it to control water inflow.
    2) span it with a tarp- tilted to one side where evaporeted water can flow into a reservoir to save it.
    3) take all the salt to sell it.
    4) let new water in and repeat the process.
    -> this will also compensate the sea level rise
