Climate refugees are probably a larger portion of illegal immigrants then we'd all suspect. If people could farm their own land and survive they'd do it but for the most part around the world we have a collapsing forest microbiome and an acidifying ocean on top of 1000x other dominos that don't bode well for our collective future. Yes our planet is resilient but we've literally double double double downed on all the things that were destroying the biosphere 50 years ago. All the "Green Deals" didn't do a fucking thing in my opinion and to me it was more of corporations who royally fucked our planet going, "Look everyone we care". They don't.

The fact that I've been able to find aluminum/barium/strontium/titanium in levels that are in some cases 3000x normal levels(Aluminum specifically the others were 5x normal) in a creek near my home is INSANE and that was with a simple chemical test kit I bought from Home Depot. Imagine all those smaller microplastics that are everywhere(every square inch of the planet from the top of Everest to the bottom of the Marianna Trench.

&&& now people like Bill Gates and CIA director John Brennan come out and say, "Yea we now have to use SAI(Stratospheric Aerosol injections) to control SRM(Solar radiation management) and what it would look like is what you'd see in the sky today! PRETENDING like they haven't already deployed this on a world wide scale. Pretending like they just came up with this last week when they have the patents going back 75+ years.

That's my problem with it. They are getting away with more then just murder when they convince the world they are going to start using "SAI" soon when it's actually been done for decades with disastrous consequences.

Direct negative result of SAI. Forest fires burning fiercer/hotter/uncontrollably worldwide because the entire top of the tree canopies are saturated with incendiary metals and so is the forest floor. So because they spray the planet 24/7 for decades everything BURNS with a much higher intensity. People wondering why areas that NEVER experienced forest fires are going up?

I'll stop on the geoengineering conversation but it's the one issue most people refuse to believe exists and if you did some research you'd find a lot of issues we face today are because the military intelligences around the world "Play God" and they LOST and instead of just stopping it entirely they've doubled down.

The water issue plaguing the west coast and other areas of the southwest will never get better and even in Chicago they started to build this "billion dollar tunnel" with the intention of diverting water from the Great Lakes westward but it would require a project like Roosevelts New Deal. I think it would be great because water security is an issue people often overlook. The Obama Administration sold "fresh water" from the Great Lakes to China to forgive debts so why don't we try and alleviate water issues in the west when it affects all Americans. It'd be one of the greatest civil engineering projects ever undertaken To be able to pipe water from the Great Lakes throughout the country at much less of a cost. I should add as of right now that project is canned sort of like the Keystone Pipeline but name one American who would say "No" to a project that would give people easier/cheaper access to water.

Myself and HELL NO. Russians tried it and turned a lake to desert. "Formerly the fourth-largest lake in the world with an area of 68,000 km2 (26,300 sq mi), the Aral Sea began shrinking in the 1960s after the rivers that fed it were diverted by Soviet irrigation projects. "

A project like that would be actual geoengineering and the implications swag at best. In regards to water scarcity, there are already proven solutions. Below is my preferred, produce energy and possible desalinate sea water for consumption.
