The necessary water might be lacking too. The "icecaps" might not be frozen water but "dry ice": solid carbon dioxide...
...Anton J. Carlson, dean of U.S. physiologists and president of the Research Council on Problems of Alcohol, was suspicious of white bread. Dr. Carlson pointed an accusing finger at nitrogen trichloride, a bleaching agent used in 90% of all white flour milled in the U.S. The bleaching agent makes wheat protein act like a nerve poison; dogs given large amounts of the bleached flour developed running fits.

Then comes gasoline, flowing by gravity at 100 gallons a minute. The tanker can supply up to 2,000 gallons...
