Are you actually claiming Saudi Arabia is going to survive climate change? Hilarious.
It is an engineering and energy problem. And yes, as long as the power plants don't go offline. I know you want to see our demise, but we will linger on, I'm not worried.
If you know that I want to see your demise, you can provide evidence for it. Please do so.
Unless it was a lie.
Was it a lie?
Yes, because the major world and regional powers are just going to sit still and die when the see your country has a bunch of things they need to survive. They totally won't invent a pretext to invade and secure those resources -- that's never happened, particularly in the middle east.
I'm sure Saudi Arabia will be able to defend itself from multiple attackers fighting for their very survival. Brilliant plan.
I love that their response to the issues with their claim that Saudi Arabia will be fucked like everywhere else is: if we build a bunch of nuclear reactors and invent an outdoor air conditioner that works in a bunch of desert cities, there will be no issues that Saudi Arabia can't overcome when it comes to climate change.
I especially love their other claim that since 40% of their country's population are immigrants, they can handle an influx of who knows how many more millions at their borders.
Good thing climate change isn't already causing huge problems in Saudi Arabia.
That’s a solvable problem. Saudi Arabia is building solar and wind power plants in many other countries too. And if we had nuclear technology we probably would have built nuclear power plants too for other countries.
I don’t see why people are jumping to eco-fascism when there is still plenty of clean and cheap energy to be utilized.
