EZ just put him on ignore hes a troll.

Yes we don't live in the earth but that's not what this is about what this is showing is how little water we have.

Water is the source of all life on our planet and we continue to use it as a dumping ground and poison it with oil spills. So to anyone with an ounce of common sense when they see this fact put into a image like that should think about how we MUST keep it clean and not continue down the route we are currently taking.

As far as your point "Ace of Nothing" if you had actually read the article it stated that the water that life is sustained from is actually the tiny sphere under the other two water sphere's...



Lets see what your "maths" makes of that...

Yeah, Ze-Jamz. Actually anyone with even just the slightest experience in math or engineering would see the picture like that. It's definately not 100% correct nor does it want to be. It's just showing the simple fact that water on earth is actually very rare. Unpolluted water or fresh water is even more rare.

Although I did know about the situation I never really imagined it visually. Thanks for the share, really inspiring to look at. A great awareness picture.

The original post didnt mention anything about pollution which is proberbly why the maths discussion started.

As for my "Excllant" spelling I apologise. Spelling is not my strong point. and I wasnt ragging on Aces when I asked him what he ment by "spear", I actually googled it incase it was an american spelling of sphere...

Interesting no doubt. When I first saw the thread's title I pictured the sphere being a lot bigger than that. It makes me wonder how big of a sphere/compressed to sea level pressure bubble, the Earth's atmosphere would make.

In a free market economy the "fair" distribution of a scarce resource is determined by market forces and who has the wherewithal to pay the most.

In that case it should be over China, they still pay "cash" for things.

Actually you are kind of correct. its Asia first followed by North America second.



Australia last, as you would expect when the majority of the continent is as dry as a dead dingos donger.
