So hello. It appears I exist again.

I'm violently apathetic, so I'm not really going to make much of an entry.

Basically, we're all screwed, but at least when everything goes to hell, a lot of people are going to deserve it.

At least it'll all freeze and purify when the next ice age hits us in the next couple of decades. :-)

::twitch:: Ice. Doesn't. Purify. Anything.

GAH!

You should have paid more attention in science class.

If your science class taught you that freezing mercury turned it into happy pure drinking water, you probably should have paid a bit less attention.

Naw, but freezing naturally removes all impurities from water.

No, it doesn't.

If you freeze part of body of water with toxins in it, most of the toxins will not freeze into the ice, and so this water, when melted again, will contain fewer toxins. All this is totally unimportant on a global scale, since life on earth can only use water in liquid form. Freezing half the ocean would just increase the concentration of toxins in the liquid portion, except for those few that were locked up in the ice, ready to be released the moment it melted. Throughout all of this, the same toxins remain present. If you made your statement from a human-centric viewpoint, as we are the only ones who could easily go through freeze-melt steps for our drinking water, it is still unimportant, because we are perfectly capable of manually freezing our water and do not need an ice age to do it for us.
