  1. The huge Qattara Depression in Egypt is below sea level. A forest could be planted there with sea water from the Mediterranean desalinated using solar panels, then dropping by gravity to the irrigation systems of the forests saving on pumping costs. The forests will change the climate producing more rainfall. It would be self perpetuating eventually.

  4. ​ @underdog_fpv2529  Desalinated Med water will flow down into the depression saving masses of energy on pumping. The depression is empty. The whole depression can be solar panels and a forest, or a collection of smaller forests and settlements. The size of the forest depends on two things: 1. How big the solar farm is. As the sun is guaranteed in that part of the world, a large amount of electricity can be produced. There is a enough land for a massive farm. 2. How much sea water is desalinated. Desalination is far more efficient these days. For e.g., cruise liners do not take on fresh water as the water is desalinated on-board. The fresh water can be piped direct to the plants in irrigation schemes to save wastage on evaporation. The forest will be partly self perpetuating once mature. The forest will encourage rain. There are serious suggestions to build massive solar farms in the Moroccan desert, with a cable to Europe supplying a large level of Europe's electricity.

  5.  @KingSteen  They did many times. The Isle of Man was a part of Norway at one time.

  6. Has Egypt looked at filling the empty Qattara Depression, which is below sea level, forming a lake, and hydro electric plant? The water of the lake created will precipitate rainfall. It will also be a transport artery using boats.

  7.  @galleon8722  Your knowledge of the British is near zero. The British were/are a trading nation who ended up with an empire they really did not want, through wanting to trade. Many countries requested to be in the empire. The empire was so bad its ex members formed the British Commonwealth. Two countries who are in the Commonwealth were not even in the empire.

  9. Texas is the right side of the USA. The Gulf of Mexico is a part of the Atlantic. So easy access to Europe and the increasing in population, Arab states. The widening of the locks in the Panama Canal helped as larger ships from Asia can reach Texas easily. California is a long way from Asia and Australia across a massive Pacific Ocean.

  10. Texas cannot even build a proper electrical grid system. It collapsed.

  19. The development of the West Passage via the top of Canada is beneficial to China. It also cuts out several thousands of miles of sea travel. This will alleviate China's fears, sustaining peace.

  23.  @jaquigreenlees  Why dig a big ditch when the depression is a big ditch? To fill the depression with fresh water the Nile would need to be diverted with also supplemental desalination plants. No need to create large bodies of open water. Best to just desalinate Med water directing the water to irrigate trees via an irrigation system by gravity not expensively pumping water. The trees will change the climate to one of more rainfall. Also the expensive to produce fresh water does not evaporate being directed directly to water plants. Any water storage can be in covered aquifers, that still allows water to flow out by gravity into the irrigation system. A wide 45 mile canal can be dug from the Med to the depression, then water desalinated dropping by gravity into the depression. The canal can also accommodate ships, so maybe have an inland ports in time at the end and along the canal.

  30. There are depressions in land that can be made into lakes/seas to adsorb sea levels rises The Qattara Depression in Egypt has about 200 people in it, but if a canal is dug to the Mediterranean a lake the size of Lake Ontario can be created. Parts of East Africa is also the case. The Southern Californian desert another, etc.

  31. China having control of the South China Sea, does not mean they have free access through any straights.

  32. Am immediate solution to stop further decline is to stop the leakage and evaporation of water in the canals. Also get the cotton industry more efficient. Is there a plan to do so?

  33. California needs to implement Land Value Taxation. It will then strip all other states.

  34. You missed a lot. Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia in WW2. The Atlantic islands. Many Pacific islands. A Swedish island, Denmark. A lot left out.

  35. After Southern Ireland was created, the British policy was to treat Ireland as if it was still in the UK. Irish citizens could land in the UK and claim every social security right as anyone else. They could work and have their children educated. When both countries were in the EU this never mattered that much. When the UK left the EU, the same right are still available to the Irish. Post independence, Ireland was poverty stricken, by poor government policies. The British have: ▪ looked after their poor; ▪ treated their sick; ▪ housed them; ▪ educated them. All they had to do was take a short boat ride, which they did in their millions.

  43. The rest of the USA buys your gas and oil, what else has Texas got? They can always buy oil and gas elsewhere. Texas is on an extraction boom, which bust eventually. In the long term extraction economies are never stable, and then fail as the extracted commodity dry up.

  44. Just after the Irish famine, there was famine in England as well, the steamship was vastly improved reaching continents fast and reliably, and enabling ships to be larger. The British could now transport food from other continents to circumvent famines. The famine played on British minds. Cereal was imported from North America. The British invented refrigeration, refrigerating ships, which transported meats from British owned ranches in Argentina. This fleet of ships also transported food to other countries around the world. The huge British fleet assisted in eliminating famine in the world.

  54.  @underdog_fpv2529  The forest will change the climate giving more rain. Desalinated water will not evaporate as it will not be in open reservoirs, as it will fall by gravity to the irrigation system direct to the trees. It was clear what I wrote.

  65. One of the reasons for the famine was that the land of Ireland was owned by only a few people. The vast majority of the farms had tenant farmers. When they could not pay their rent they were thrown off their farms. After the famine the UK government set up the Irish Land Commission to distribute the land. The Commission was kept after Irish independence, being dissolved in 2001, job done. What would have solved, and still will, much of Ireland's problems is to introduce Land Valuation Tax.

  72. Egypt needs to look at other ways of obtaining fresh water. Search Youtube on: Limitless Fresh Water Lies Right OVER The Ocean - Without Desalination! This having large concrete structure just offshore. Using fans, it takes the moisture laden sea air then runs it through condensers using cold sea water to cool the condensers, to obtain fresh water, which is pumped ashore.

  76.  @arlodoyle7224  The Irish sold crops to whoever. They were not forcibly taken from Ireland. Ireland was a part of the UK, not a colony. Trade was open to anywhere, as is now. Wise up!

  86. This vid is well..... It makes out the USA (Texas) single handely saved Europe economically after Russia invaded the Ukraine. Qatar immediately stared to ship gas to Europe to counter Russian gas. The UK imported a small percentage of Russian gas, but then quickly expanded its wind turbine count.
