Climate manipulation.

Do you ever wonder how some of our changing climate for farming etc has contributed to climate issues?

This was an interesting idea. The worlds climate and atmosphere is delicate and events do snowball. Doing something like this could have changed things too.
We humans have altered the world just by being alive.

THE parched deserts of Southern California need water to transform their barren soil into fertile farmlands and tourist Meccas such as those existing elsewhere in the state. So far the problem has remained unsolved. But Sidney Cornell, a Los Angeles construction engineer, thinks he has a solution. He wants to construct a series of geyser-like power plants one mile apart to shoot water from the mouth of one into the funnel of the next, as depicted here by MI artist Frank Tinsley. The water would arc over hilly sections, have a flat trajectory over plains. Its velocity would approach 400 mph. These stations— 400 in all—would cost about $300,000 each.

I'm no expert, but this looks like one of the stupidest ideas in history.

Loved this response in the comments:

All you’d have to do after this is cover California with a giant plastic sheet and you’d have the world’s biggest Slip n’ Slide!

What ever happened to the concept of the "greenhouse effect"? Then what ever happened to the concept of "global warming"? It is all nonsense and scientific fraud.

Are you a scientist major bean? Is this your educated guess/opinion or would you care to grace us with some proof of what you just posted. After making such a bruhaha about my opinions being posted without proper sources, surely you intended to provide us with some and you just forgot to do that.

Do you two ever get tired of chasing each other around the playground?


:pop Hang on, my popcorn is getting stale. BRB

no I dont have a source, it just really tastes stale

I do believe that she is the worst of womanhood. Mean, vindictive, snarky, bitchy. She needs to just shut the hell up.
(I posted this so that your post would have some validity. She followed me here. You included us both in your indictment so I just offered you some validation.)

Exercise is good......makes up for all the popcorn!! :thumbsup:

I see major bean has reverted to type....another "shut the hell up", and some name calling. cute.

I followed you here? sheesh, not only do you want to tell me what to post, now you want to regulate which threads I can post in.......start your own board major bean, then you get to make the rules up as you go along.

wouldn't this wreak havoc with private planes and birds......unless you want to advertise it as a quick plane wash.
