  1. The cost of replacing them after about 25 years will be huge as well. Unless they come up with a way to restore old ones in a cheap way.

  2. Iraq should encourage more birth control to prevent population increase, at least until the water situation can get resolved.

  3. We should actually make an artificial sea in the savannah of africa. Perhaps where Chad is. This would improve rainfall in the area and lower the sea level a bit to compensate for melting ice caps.

  4. Why doesn’t Egypt ally with Tigray vs ethiopia?

  5. What about water?

  6.  @inkyguy  True but it also uses rare materials/elements that are finite, that I hope we will be able to replace or replicate/synthethise in the future.

  7. We shouldn't allow our populations to grow to the point we don't even have enough water within our borders, and either have to trade any surplus wealth for it. Or invade them to take their water resources. How about we just stabilize or even lower the population over time (through incentivizing not coercion) and thus find a natural equilibrium within our own territories? I would rather this than a possible nuclear war over water resources which would end up wiping out most the population over time anyway. We should be sensible about this, and be wary of economic growth at all costs economics, because it leads to bread for today, hunger for tomorrow.

  8.  @akalion213  We can make improvements such as water capture and underground storage. Maybe even expanding on indoor farming, which keeps the water trapped and recycled within the facility. But there is still a ceiling to how many more people it can sustain. And the problem of climate change affecting rainfall in many parts of the world is going to make things worse in many countries. I will concede that certain coastal regions could see more rainfall (as well as storms) than before as ocean temperature rises. All that aside China is in for some serious problems once it's ground water reserves in northern China dry up and they haven't prepared enough for it. Saudi Arabia too will be in serious problems as it's squandered it's underground water resources on a prestige desert farming project, which will give them 10-20 good years of crops for a land that in 30 years will be desert again.

  9. Egypt has a stronger army though and I do think they'll attack perhaps even in alliance with Tigray and Eritrea.

  10.  @lto4827  I think it depends on what kind of sweeteners to the deal Egypt can offer. Plus, you have to take into account the dam could make Ethiopia very rich, and a rich powerful Ethiopia would not work out well for Tigrayan rebels or the state of Eritrea in the long run, because a wealthy Ethiopia could be in a position to conquer a weak Eritrea and gain sea access.

  11. Interesting, I've been saying this all along! That Russia will be a beneficiary from climate change.
