Dam up the Black Sea? Put a plug in the Suez Canal? Why not?

"The Nazis ... thought the initiative was impossible and preferred to invade occupying countries to achieve their aim."

Makes sense.

I thought everyone was worried about sea level rise.

What impact would that have on the rest of the world? Wouldn’t you need permission from every other coastal nation?

“but in the 1920s, it was taken seriously by engineers, politicians, architects, and even the United Nations, at one point.”


Error in the first sentence. United Nations didn’t exist in the 1920s.

That would turn much of Southern Europe into a desert because the land would be too far from a substantial body of water

A relative gave me a dystopian novel that occurs after this system occurs. I could not get into it. I could only see Europe flooded by water that could not exit via the Black Sea.

What’s more, each of the dams would provide hydroelectric energy, supplying Europe with all the power it needed.

LOL. Expend HUGE amounts of energy pumping the Med dry, then generate power by letting the water flow back into the Med from the Atlantic. FREE ENERGY!!

I wonder why nobody thought of that before.

They would have tectonics on their side, since the African plate is pushing northward toward Europe. But they would isolate the Black Sea and create a huge great salt lake there. Doubt the people would be happy about that.
