Refill the inland seas
[Read the article: Desperate times, desperate scientists]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]We let too much fresh water run to the sea. We need to divert it to refill inland seas. We built the Alaska pipeline so we can do the same to divert water that would otherwise flow into the ocean and use it to refill the inland seas such as the Aral. We can also use tank cars and haul the water to where it is needed. Dams and canals could also be used as well as existing right of ways such as highways and railways. This would be a massive and long term project but so were the Panama and Suez canals.
By diverting water to the inland sea basins, we not only counter some of the rise in sea level, but we also create fisheries, industry and weather. Refilling the Aral Sea would provide moisture for snow and rain which provide the Indian subcontinent with fresh water which otherwise may be in crisis due to the effects on global warming on the snows.
If you go out to the salt flats west of Salt Lake City, the mountains clearly show how high the water was and to refill that would take a lot of water to fill and that water wouldn't be going to the oceans.
You also have to be able to think in terms of 50 to a 100 years for this project to achieve it's goals but the alternatives are to just give up the coastal regions and cities.

It's not the Jews, stupid!
[Read the article: New poll reveals how unrepresentative neocon Jewish groups are]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's the war machine using fascist psychopaths to sell the war. Some of them happen to be Jewish. Other religion persuasions and "racial" groups are also well represented.
Religion and race are just tools to sucker us into giving all of our resources to the war machine profiteers.
Not one Jew or Moslem or Christian that i know want war. I don't think any of the scammers have any religion whatsoever and if they did it would have to be the devil they worship.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Alcohol wasn't banned by the progressives, it was banned by the oil industry in order to establish that gasoline made from petroleum would be the fuel source for automobiles, trucks and everything else rather than alcohol.
The Temperance movements were used to front for the oil companies agenda and those groups can hardly be considered progressive since it was largely a marriage of anti-Catholic, anti-Irish, anti-Italian ideas with the new scientific management of workers philosophy which sought to ban alcohol in order to increase worker productivity. But that was just the icing on the cake in order to sell it.
Henry Ford made his cars and trucks so that they could run on ethanol or gasoline and this meant that farmers could use agricultural waste and ferment it into fuel to power their cars, tractors and combines. They used stills. Farmers knew all about stills and now they could make fuel for the machinery and probably even sell a little on the side to make money..
The oil companies did not like this idea one bit. The word is monopoly.
A notable side effect of prohibition, which is never mentioned, is that when farmers couldn't fuel their machinery that they needed to plow, plant and harvest their fields, this neglect facilitated the disaster of the dust bowl. If they had been able to plant, the soil would have been less likely to have been blown away. All of this hardship just so Standard Oil could dominate the fuel market. Gangsters are small potatoes compared to that. Great for movies, headlines and history books, but the greater problem that it caused was and is still ignored.
The propaganda worked so well that they decided to use it again after big oil was satisfied with their monopoly over the fuel market and prohibition of alcohol was ceased.
Industry had another competitor that they had to deal with, but you already know about that.

The system if falling to another state.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Last year no hurricanes hit the east coast, This year no hurricanes hit the east coast and next year no hurricanes will hit the east coast.
I bet most of you think that is no problem.
You are very wrong.
The current is not adequate to drive them and the deep potential is building up. Surface potential modifiers of weather are graspable but even I don't have a clue as to the deep potentials.
Maybe it's just a magnetic pole shift.
Either way, Atlanta is going to need to find a new source of potable drinking water real soon. I would also expect the price of tobacco to be rising as well.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Don't blame them for the hurricane predictions being wrong. They are using a hydrodynamic model without taking into account electrodynamics. The don't get the effect of terrestrial and atmospheric potentials and currents and how they drive weather systems.
They don't teach that stuff in weatherman schools. I only learned about because i worked at the USNRC high tech center one summer.
