I-ve had ideas on Desalination plants
So Penguins right
Penguins can naturally Desalinate water through their Supraorbital gland
Now, we either kidnap a bunch of Penguins and make them work for us
OR
We figure out a way to make our own Supraorbital glands and just implant them into humans --
Can drink straight out the ocean then,
Run it through some fine filters first to get rid of some of the other garbage
China is also work on Rice Straw desalination.
The left over Rice Straw Leaves, instead of being burnt off after harvest, would now be used to desalinate water

I had heard that in the 1970s an iceberg, insured by Lloyds of London, had been towed towards Arabia, but I don't know how far it traveled. However, sailing time of such an iceberg could be reduced to two months by using warships, with nuclear-reactor-engines, as tugboats, such as two in front and one in the back to push it forward. The pushing tug could also be a nuclear submarine, pushing the iceberg below the sea-level. A one cubic-kilometer iceberg would probably lose half of its ice, by the time its reaches the Persian Gulf.

But what is the feasibility of this operation? In the map i checked that it is on average 12000 kms from Bouvet island (another video from real life lore) to any of the North African and Arabian regions, which is relatively closer than the Antarctic.
This is actually a really good idea to provide clean drinking water to millions of people, which is more economical and environmentally friendly compared to sucking out groundwater or desalination of ocean water

I don't like this -solution- for a number of reasons;
1. I'm not a expert in ice melting, but I think that would melt way more than. 30% due to the temperature of the water in the UAE.
2. To transport the iceberg will pollute the ocean.
3. It will accelerate the rising the sea level much faster.
4. It would set a dangerous precedent, that is just to grab the valuable resources in nature.
For summary, bad idea!

People talking the most but forget in Uk to restrict movements with ulez already in UK when no one wanted it during a difficult time, kids are changing genders, they are programming your kids in school when you work like a slave, western countries just doing the same in a sly way

I am sorry. The block of ice would have melted by the time it reaches the equation. The rate of melting of a travelling iceblock is 200 times that of a stationary iceblock. Perhaps they can wrap the iceblock in cellophane so that they can drag a big bag of fresh water to UAE.

How about just not pumping the salt back into the ocean after purifying it? Then all the water used by the people, showering and other stuff that isn-t drank, put back into the ocean? Doesn-t that make sense? Just a thought.

Maybe the numbers work out.
This would be analogous to shipping big tankers full of oil to places thousand of miles away.
Collect the raw material where it's plentiful, ship it to where it's needed. Might work.

as I own and oversee the country of Antarctica I will make a deal with UAE to send free of charge an annual 100-year block of ice under the conditions that it support Palestine as a country

Eh, this plan to pull antarctic ice away from Antarctica sounds like a controversial plan in and of itself.
You know, because there are animals that have to live on that ice

Or they could just mine the water fron Antarctica and bring it back packed a away ready for use so they don't lose said water to the ocean and also not cause ocean levels to rise

Me: puts water in the freezer-
Them: TuG aN iCeBeRG To ThE DeSeRt
Now i do know however the point of this is not for ice but for clean water, so point retracted somewhat?

RLL underestimates the tech of desalination; it absolutely is not necessarily toxic to the local ocean if done properly, AND there are renewable and low energy ways to do it.

Tug berg to South Africa
Build a pipeline that can move fresh water instead of oil
Chop the ice
Filter the water
Pipe the water to northern Africa

How much oil do they transport all over the world, why not use a large ship and fill it with ice? Isn't water also worth a lot especially in the middle east?

it would seem like they should just put it in the lagoon used for desalination to significantly increase the productivity of that resource vs mining it.

that is by far the funniest yet feasible supervillain idea I have heard yet. Literally only topped by -towing a country- or -stealing rain clouds-

wouldn't it not be easier to just send a ship that can process the ice to antartica and do it all there and then and ferry barrels of water back?

Why not move the extra salty water somewhere else, or put it on land? Maybe transport it to the Sahara it could even be beneficial idk

So, did the UAE execute this plan or not? It's been more than 2 yrs and there's no news so far about this.
