The oceans have been rising for the past 15,000 years. I don’t think it’s going to help.

Pile the sewage on all the beaches before the sea levels rise too high.

The problem Lake Mead has is LV. The south range hasnt had the snow to recharge that lake in these past years.

That, and CA needs to learn that they wont be getting the power from that dam like they used to.

Las Vegas needs to stop accepting more people into that valley. Plain and simple.

Think ‘grant money’. That will help you understand.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Like the idea that some idiots had to put some kind of micro reflectors into the atmosphere to deflect the sun’s heat, or some such insane, bizarro nonsense. Lord protect us from the fools that would protect us from imaginary disasters.

“The idea seems to be that the wastewater injections will somehow make the coastline rise.”

Exactly, ...you must have read more than the headline ! Gold Star for you.

But imagine the building foundations along the coast that would crack if this fantasy were to work. An attorneys paradise

Environmentalists in favor of contamination of the sandy aquifer?

Dumping untreated sewerage into Chesapeake Bay, which has been SOP for years has seriously harmed the biosphere of the Bay's famous Blue Crabs to the point where they are no longer safe (or fit) to eat.

I'd think that injecting sewerage 'deep underground' is likely only going to delay the inevitable release of bio-toxins to the detrement of Maryland fisheries.

Build a desalination facility. This way all the water that would flood virginia’s coast would be turned into fresh water and shipped inland. End of flooding....

/yes, this is ridiculous, but the rats have no come back for it.

Would that contaminate the ground water which wells draw from?
