What if the earth was 71% land instead of H20? How would that change our would we live in?

most of the planet would be a frozen desert. Land absorbs about 20 to 30% sunlight, ocean absorbs about 80 to 90% sunlight. This would cause a permanent ice age whereby the planet's landscape would be covered in ice miles thick, and yet it would only snow like a half-inch per year or so in most places. The whole planet would be like antarctica, which is considered a desert.

You blew my mind away!

Ouch. We would have major problems with travel and drinking water and most of the planet would probably be deserts. Sounds like a terrible place to be.

there woiuld not be enough water for all the plants and animals. It would be like the Dune planet without the giant worms.

We would all be very, very , very thirsty. Consider 3/4 of all water on this planet is salt water. What are we to drink with so little fresh water to drink !

The only thing i can tell you with complete certainty is that everyone would still wee in swimming pools.

Well most of the sea creatures would be extinct by now. And global warming would be so bad that earth would be close to become a plant with no life.

Probably like the planet shown in Wrath of Khan, mostly inhospitable.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Not kill it, but would make many of the land inarable, I think.

[OddBeMe]

Probably make the small portion of O2 in the atmosphere even smaller.
