Wow.
I’m guessing the people who lived in 1862 didn’t scream “Climate Change!” “Global Warming!” “Ban all industry in the North!”
The ecofreaks would act even crazier than usual if this were to be repeated in the present day.
Just make sure it all goes into the Pacific(l thought it was rising?) and don’t divert a drop to watershed basins. Send all the topsoil into the ocean also, we wouldn’t want to plan ahead.
