Is mega-scale investment in desalination of ocean water better than a carbon tax?

  1. Yes.. .at least we will be able to produce more food for a growing world population.

  2. Yes. ... every cubic meter of ocean water that is desalinated is good news for coastal cities.

  3. No.... only a carbon tax or cap and trade system will work to stabilize the climate.

  4. I am not sure but it seems like a good thing to have options.

    I agree with Dr. Lomborg which is why I have been promoting an alternative theory on stabilization of the climate since 2007.

    The Carl Cantrell theory on stabilization of the climate could even give Muslims, Christians and Jews something that they could perhaps cooperate on?

    "Muslims Jews Christians Hindus mutual respect group" (Facebook):

    Can Muslims, Christians, Hindu's and Jews all unite around the fulfillment of an ancient Islamic prediction for the Last Hour?

    Book 005, Number 2208:
    SAHIH MUSLIM, BOOK 25: The Book on General Behaviour (Kitab Al-Adab)

    This obviously reminds me of Isaiah chapter 35 and..... .of an alternative theory on stabilization of the climate put forward by a New Mexico biologist and coach:

    Dennis....this fixation with desalination and desert greening is a neat idea, but impossible to implement on any large scale and would not make much difference even if done worldwide. Do a bit of research into what would be required just financially, let alone diplomatically.

    If the number of USA petro dollars in the hands of nations, companies and individuals
    unfriendly to the USA is truly 4.3 trillion then that makes large scale desalination of ocean water
    economically feasible....... because it can be argued that humanity needs a mega- project or two or three of them
    to divert all that money in a productive manner that will not cause something worse than the market fluctuations of 2008 assuming that a deliberate attack on the value of the USA dollar is being planned.

    If the number counting Derivatives is actually 117 TRILLION USA petro - dollars then we really do need a number of mega- projects in order to keep Wall Street stable and relatively consistent.

    .......President Trump has a 4.3 trillion dollar problem....


    AboveAlpha made a post that convinced me that this is a good direction to go in:


    A very simple and easy to understand explanation of why climate change is REAL.
