The polar ice is melting… the water level is rising… we are drowning.
Isn’t it possible that when they fly to space they take water from the earth and discharge it into space?
There is no life there anyway, so no one is bothered by it.
thanks in advance
Answer
Apart from the technical and economic (im)possibilities, this is a solution that encounters the problem of dimension. The Greenland ice sheet loses about 150 cubic kilometers of ice per year. That corresponds to a pack of 5 m of ice over the whole of Belgium. Don’t set an amount to cram into a spaceship for a while.
On the total of 2.9 million cubic kilometers of ice currently lying on Greenland, the annual loss is not that bad. A complete melting of the entire Greenland ice sheet would lead to a global sea level rise of about 6 m. Currently, the increase due to the melting of Greenland ice is only 0.3 mm per year.
