Take a glass, fill it, then put your ice in.

The water level will rise without a shadow of a doubt.

And the ice of Antarctica is mostly above the water.

It's like the full glass that you shove ice cubes into.

Of course none of us really know anything and can't fathom the depths of the knowledge we acquire, and ultimately it could turn out that God had absolute control the entire time and all we did was equal to nil.

But yes, you're right. If all the ice was actually in the water, and not above it likely wouldn't have much of an impact on sea levels, just the temperature.

But that's assuming the ice is of regular density at 1 atmosphere of pressure.

Japanese, it means Curse Lord.

Noroi Dono

Lightning blowing up all around me.

Israel directly, or were the weapons from Israel?

Foolish.

Should have bought Russian surplus and have that to them.

No, what I'm saying is it would have been better to have bought old Russian weapons and given that to the rebels.

Would have kept the ruse on longer.

Canada provides arms to them too via the War trade.

Not directly, but Canada sells to groups that sell to them.

I think it's too keep the conflict going.

Canada recently have Iran 225M under the guise of Female Education.

Because Trudeau is a puppet.

And not a very good one

Canada like to give a lot of "foreign aid" under the Liberals.

Literally have actual terrorists 10M because we violated his "Rights" which he should have forfeit when he actively chose to kill US troops.

Then we quietly gave over 34M to other people known to have extremist ties.

A puppet to his ministers, and they are all in the pockets of bigger fish.

It's really unfortunate, the Ministers tell him to tell the people one thing while they go off and do another.

This current government is inept.

A careless tweet caused a migrant crisis, but there is no crisis according to the Somalian in charge of immigration.

And yes, I am from Canada.

I'm slowly losing my will to refer to myself as a national of this country.

The cities are retarded and can't keep trees alive, and the rural areas hate the cities because the cities don't care about anything aside from frivolous things that save face without fixing anything.

The capital relies on the taxes of the rest of the country to support it.

And then it squanders all that money by paint the municipal workers that sir in offices and do very little all day

DND is full of people who get paid way to much and only work 4 hours a day usually.

The Commons are more focused on Weed and whether we should try and force the pope with legislation that doesn't apply to him to come and apologize for residential schools.

Also the government just passed a bill to get over 2B dollars to pay for "Fees"

Where that 2B+ came from I'm not sure, but I hate this regime.

I can't believe we put up with this.

The guy literally asks for something and he gets it.

He bought 3 boats on tax payer dime for his private villa.

He ignores the conservation laws.

Using fruit trees to tie his slack lines.

Literally admitted to breaking the law then covered it up by outraging the country.

He killed all the pipeline deals we had in place with the USA because he gave 225M to Iran and the US hates us for it.

He also said on a trade deal with China that he was willing to fuck over the common people of Canada to make a deal.

"I'm not here to look out for Canada's best interests" is what he said.

But hey! He looks good on a post card so we'll just ignore it.

Canadians are stupid, and weak.

It's really unfortunate.

Yes.

In a trade deal with China

Which hee then botched.

We should, but we already have control.

We voted him in and the only person that can fire him was chosen by him, and the Queen won't step in because the UK would step in.

It's just that we choose to wait until the next election so we can vote against the Liberals and get the same problem.

The Queen has power here.

She can remove the Prime Minister if she chose to.

Just that if she tried to step in, British Parliament would try to further limit her powers.

So then it shouldn't be up to the local community?

Because who decides what is and is not right when the community that has decided this is fine and it works for them, but the other community is disproportionately affected by that choice?

It's far easier to dump toxins than to clean them.

No? So say a community decides to build a dam

And that floods a large portion of the land the other community was focusing conservation efforts.

In turn this causes the fish to stop reproducing as they can no longer get to their spawning grounds.

This leads to a build up of heavy metals in the water and algae blooms due to nothing eating the algae anymore. This leads to the water becoming toxic and deoxidized.

This isn't a hypothetical either. This is what is happening in Quebec.

If you honestly believe that one can not ruin something for the many then you're ignorant, or you don't care.

Oh, I just saw that article.

It would be the one who chose industry.

The community needs electricity to run machines.

Unless you mean that ultimately the decision lies with the state to build a dam.

Uh...

Oh, well that's stupid. It was Quebec.

So the province allowed it.

And the utility used the authority to build it.

It was allowed by the community.

Via the Democratic process.

And lack of resistance.

It was also welcomed.

As it created jobs.

And an economy.

And again, how does that mitigate the affect the one community might have on the others?

I used it as an example of the effects a dam can have.

Not as an example of building it.

Or by whom.

I was just asking you what would be the punishment for such a transgression and who would enforce it?

That's irrelevant.

You're distracting.

From the QotD.

You say these decisions *should* be handled at the local level though.

And that they should have the authority to do these sorts of projects.

But some effects are unforeseeable, so I was asking what would happen?

If one community made a decision that affected several others?

Who enforces that?

And who decides what a forest is worth?

How do you gauge how much damage there is from losing a forest which provides food and resources for several communities?

A single tree can be considered priceless

And money will never bring those resources back

So

How do you mitigate this when money isn't enough?
