All Beach and No Ocean

Global Warming...2100 C.E. 1/3rd of all earth in drought. Desert. No food. No water. No chance of either. And its all in developing countries. Developing countries whose resource developed countries rather enjoy exploiting. Sand. Lots and lots of sand covering up those resources we so value and exploit developing countries for.

Maybe when the actuaries get around to calculating the cost of extracting said resources from beneath the billions upon billions of acres of beach or the sheer impossibility of it, the industrialists will turn their attentions to conservation.

Nah.

Lots of money being put into independent research for life off-world. Wonder who funds this or that?

The Women's group has a great rundown of national and international involvements here
