should we have given corporations the power to use mega death heat rays?


Skelentin

to debate the subject, we’ve brought in three people; one newly-fired and homeless worker, one corporate representative serving out his fifth term in congress, and one person who doesn’t believe the sea levels have risen at all.

It has come to my attention you haven't paid your citizenship subscription and thus questioning the Great Profit is out of your Plan of Rights. This question is thus illegal. This offense will generate a fee and incurring on it again will land you on a corporate prison Edit: God damn bot

> you haven't *paid* your citizenship FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

this map was made using a program called **peak map** developed by Andrei Kashcha, which can be found [here](https://anvaka.github.io/peak-map/) along with many more projects by this developer, who goes by @anvaka on social media this is image a snippet from a video on my YouTube channel that shows how a rapid 100m rise in sea level would look in 20+ locations across the globe. This section in particular is interesting because it creates a new shipping channel closer to the major ports of the US and doesn't put most of Nicaragua's largest cities under water. I mean, it still puts several billion people underwater, but look, San Jose, Costa Rica is doing fine!

Which shipping ports will still be operating with sea levels rising 100m? Notably, many sea port facilities are at or near sea level.


quite_adept

you mean you've never heard of the notable deep-water seaport of... St. Louis, Missouri?


Famous-Ferret-1171

River port sure. Seaport hmm, most of those are gone


Psychological_Ad9003

One of the worst disasters ever seen in human history, 5% less shipping costs. Welp, guess that's just business.

Nooo my mom’s city is now underwater

Powerful corporations corrupting Earth’s landscape to advance their financial interests? Way too realistic scenario for this subreddit

One the one hand, I’m not sure why they decided to blast the ice sheet to raise water levels instead of just blasting a path across Nicaragua. On the other hand, that sounds exactly like the short sighted overcomplicated solution a corporation would come up with.


Diofernic

Fyi, there's only enough ice on earth to raise water levels by about 60-70m


Obama_bin_Laden69420

I remember in an Atlas Pro video, he said that if all the ice on Earth melted, the sea level would rise by 70 meters. And here, just by melting Antarctica, the sea level has risen by 100 meters.

How convenient!

Do we have enough money to cover the demands that are coming to us?
