So /int
Everyone is do eager to Terraform other planets, but why not Terraform the parts of Earth that no one lives in?
How many centuries until we completely strip the red areas of all their resources, excavate the entire areas and build kilometre deep basins, then build canals going to Antarctica. We then melt Antarctica and create oceans of fresh water
>Never have water shortages
>Could easily fit billions of people in the areas surrounding the new oceans
>Could fit a billion people on the land underneath Antarctica
>Rest of the world isn't threatened by rising Sea levels anymore
>Vast amounts of valuable resources could be used for Space fleets and contained cities that orbit earth
>Vast amounts of useless resources could be used to create mountains surrounding the Oceans

With all these genetically modified food I'm surprised that nobody came up with a tree that can thrive on salt water. I'm sure rich desert cunt like Saudi Arabia would be very interested to turn their deserts into forests

Your post reminds me of the Atlantropa project. It sounded pretty cool but you just can't change the face of our earth as you like, every bigger project would cause enormous reactions in terms of climate.

That would be stupid because you'd need the African countries to organise themselves effectively. A geoformation of outback Australia, however, could definitely be done and quite likely will be in our lifetimes.

Read your own sentence and think about it. It does not make sense.

Actually it does make sense. I understand you've been trained to find any sentence with even potentially racist or potentially anti-immigrant content in it incomprehensible, but that sentence is actually both grammatical and logical. For your sakes, though, I can try German grammar: An Atlantropa project that on African infrastructure depended, would the complicity of the African states' organisational bodies require, and it such complicity, to any efficient/sufficient extent, would get not.

Brazil has been terraforming its interior (for farming). A long, industrial-scale process performed for about a century already.
