Did you even read that? If so, you have accepted that I am right. Well done arguing against your prior position.
My favourite part:But soil for the greenhouse must be shipped from southern Canada,
Now you admit climate change is real, and will be enormously challenging, wouldn't you agree that it would be a good idea to do something about the root causes of climate change as well? -

Originally posted by Fox This is why climate change deniers would do well to educate themselves on even the most basic scientific reasoning behind the theory, even if they’re not smart enough to understand the complicated parts.
Much of the ice on earth is on land. Antarctica is a land mass that sits above sea level and has an ice sheet on top of it like a mile thick. If it melts it’ll pour into the ocean. If all the ice in Antarctica melted it would raise the oceans by like 60 meters. This is what that would look like:
You really think actual scientists didn’t think of something they teach in 1st grade? That you just figured something out that no one else could? Anyone else saying something this retarded I would think they were trolling.
Im okay with this map. It displaces a lot of republicans -

Originally posted by netstat Fortunately only like 1/3 of westerners are this retarded. Even (((bankers))) and (((venture capitalists))) have largely figured out that climate change will substantially damage the global economy and wipe out their shekels if we don't start addressing it in a major way. That's why investment in coal is plummeting and the cash is flowing into solar etc.. We probably won't solve it completely but avoid the worst effects. People like TDR will be dragged along kicking and screaming and die still in denial of reality.
no, all these is an exercise to shift the paradigm from old money to new money. -

Originally posted by Splam Also you're landlocking Sweden, Poland, Germany, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, and Finland. The added land value could very well offset the costs of loosing their ports.
Breh, if we landlock those countries we are also landlocking ourselves. For a country that relies on international trade to sustain itself do you really think we wouldn't put in a couple locks?
See this?
That's a Canal Lock we built for the Panama Canal, yes we built that, it was bought from us. Hydro-engineering is our thing. You put those in your humongous dam a couple rows deep from the outer barriers to the inner barriers and beyond. There, shipping saved. -

Food, we are the second largest exporter of foodstuffs right after the USA you dingus. We also have the largest ports in Europe, that means we get the most trade coming in. You wouldn't believe the scale of infrastructure that's needed logistically to make this work. Also don't forget Dutch Royal Shell. We refine oil into all the things you can refine oil into. In fact the South-Holland is plants, refineries, and logistics all along the coast. -

Originally posted by Fox While I don’t disagree with you necessarily, when has humanity ever faced a global crisis? Other than like war and shit
Food shortages throughout the 1700s etc. due to population densities.
The steam engine, internal combustion engine, canned food, artificial preservatives, food processing, the tractor, and tonnes of other inventions helped solve the problem of getting enough food into the cities. Thereby allowing the cities to grow. We have this to thank for the population explosion in the 1800s.
It's Malthusian theory. What Thomas Malthius failed to take into account when he calculated peak populations in the 1700s, was exactly the aforementioned inventions. He didn't believe we were theoretically able to sustain the populations we do today. What's most likely is we'll have new inventions to tackle things like the energy crisis. I don't believe there's any challenge humanity will not be able to tackle - it just may come at a cost. -

Watch the last season of Silicone Valley. They create a self learning bot that manages to crack 128 and 256 bit encryption. That gets released to the public.
Good points though. -

if it went through England would probably fire a huge fucking torpedo at it from a submarine so they didn't get flooded
