| Antartica is about 8,000 miles from California. The resource costs of quarrying Antarctic ice, transporting it to California, and then melting it down and purifying it so it's safe for human use, would be far more than it was worth. Really, the more obvious solution is desalinization, though that process is also enormously expensive. |

">up in antarctica >up"
I mean, if you face north, then head straight for long enough, eventually you'll hit antarctica
it'll take a long time, yeah, but... it's how spheres work |

semantically speaking referring to is as "up" is wrong. theres a difference between being technically right and being generally right sure theres a select few scenarios where antarctica could be seen as technically "up", but in general context, this isn't the case. pointing out technical scenarios just to be like "well actually this person is kind of right" is stupid, and a sign of a weak mind not being able to determine what are usually universal truths |

"theres a difference between being technically right and being generally right"
whole-heartedly agree with you here
"pointing out technical scenarios just to be like "well actually this person is kind of right" is stupid, and a sign of a weak mind not being able to determine what are usually universal truths"
It's something I like to do from time to time apologies if I sounded nitpicky about it |

| If you don't stop drilling for water, you are gonna have real problems. Why grow the most thirsty trees imaginable there? |
