I know that it makes the only teeniest, smallest of differences (a few hundred gallons taken from billions of gallons), but could that phrase be proved wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Note: I put this on the Earth Science SE because I couldn't find anywhere else it would fit.
All of these water mass fluxes are orders of magnitude larger than the amount of water carried to the international space station. It's like asking whether you can deplete a beach from sand by taking single sand grains out of it, when you're gaining and lose huge amounts of sand by ocean wave action.
