Save the Water
2005.08.30 14:16

The most obvious problem of our planet is the whole quantity of water have never changed. It is time to consider saving the water in the form of solid state outside the planet, i.e., in space, the moon, the Mars, in order to regulate the whole quantity of water according to the temparature we have on the Earth.

We could end up preventing an ice age and instead of freezing or drowning we would melt .. well we could most likely survive an ice age quite happily due to modern technology ... but i don't know how we would cope if the temperature got up to 50/60+ .. though trying to create an atmosphere on the moon would be fun--Non illigitamus carborundum, Graviora manent

Global warming is occurring , and I'm willing to bet we had some part in speeding the process along.. though i believe it is mostly a natural occurrence.What I'm not so sure about is if it will really be too much of a problem for us.You see the last glaciations started about 70k years ago and ended 10k years ago .The last Ice age was around 2 million years agoNow humans have been around in our current form for over 100k years and we are not insanely different from our ancestors (Homo erectus at 2 about the time of the last ice age i believe ).So if we could survive that with technology that the high point was a rock tied to a bit of wood then I'm fairly sure a society that can harness the power of sub atomic particles should be able to deal with a little bit of a cold/warm spell ;)--Non illigitamus carborundum, Graviora manent
