I don't believe all the tripe about man causing climate change, i do believe it's natural, but i also believe it's gonna happen and in our lifetime and i think landfills will be handy. We have more water than land we just need to turn it into drinkable water.

You can't build houses from land fills and land fills are getting in the way, I have to admit.
Did you have anybody ask you to clean your bedroom?
Well, they can talk the amount of rubbish they produce.
This is a known issue and nothing to do with Global Warming.
And it's funny people say that climate change is brand new, in fact we couldn't even record that data from such long ago, even soil samples can't detect what was really there. They have even tried living and bacterial (Carbon-14) atoms scanning, lately they found out that those atoms affected were dispersed due to such long ages that passed by since they existed. So that one evidence of global warming that was wrong
The second one is that, we didn't have satellites long ago, nor any evidence.
Mega storms aren't anything new, just we build houses in the bad areas, if we built a city in the middle of the Atlantic, you expect a hurricane to hit it.

No, we will curse landfills as a waste of resources because we should have recovered and recycled the stuff before it even got close to a landfill.

Edit - and as for turning sea water into potable water, have you tasted the product of desalination plants and have you considered the huge energy required to do it? Climate change is already happening and if you are posting here then this means it is still your lifetime. If you are basing all your views on the tv show, it is about time you woke up to see that it is created to make the tv show. Real landfills are rather unpleasant places regardless of how well they are managed and mostly overrun with rats and seagulls scavenging off the juicy pickings. A new law in Spain means that certain potentially useful wastes such as construction and demolition stuff cannot go to a landfill anymore without first going through a recycling centre which recovers wood, paper, brick, concrete, asphalt, textiles etc all of which are put to good use. Not only does this make environmental sense but economic sense too.

You could carry on and bury your head in the sand - until the tide comes in.

"Y2K was silly i never believed in that anyway"

Well, you (and Mr Jello) are very wrong about that.

Y2K was not at all silly. It took many thousands of hours of work by many programmers to fix the Y2K problem. Otherwise, we WOULD have had chaos.

The only mistake they made was not realizing how good a job they'd done, and so they didn't tell us not to worry in late 1999. The "alarmists" who first brought up the problem and its' seriousness were absolutely right.

The exact same thing is true about global warming. Hopefully we'll soon start doing the hard work to reduce this problem, too.

there is no fresh water at the landfill. i think that is going to be the first to go. s florida is going to solve its own environmental problems when it runs out of water long before a tsunami wipes it off the map.

luckily the state is run by republicans who won't use tax money to build de-salinization plants or find any other constructive solutions for that matter. i kind of feel sorry for them all but you dig your own hole while people are telling you not to i feel a lot less sorry for you. while i think we need better social programs i really don't think they should be for the stupid.

properly if the warming have been to proceed to the plateau reached throughout the MWP the inhabitants ought to enhance to in keeping with probability 9 billion with few if any issues. if the sunlight instead is going into yet another minimum because it has finished 5 time interior the final a million,000 years we can assume super starvation from loss of fertile crop lands and wars of invasion as northern inhabitants communities combat for extra tropical areas to enhance foodstuff to feed their human beings. i could say if it cools we ought to escalate at as quickly as into area the place it may be much less complicated to create synthetic eco-friendly residing house environments in orbit to advance the worlds foodstuff potential.

At this moment it time - in Freezing Rainy Scotland .. Climate change is the last thing on my mind... it's cold here - so on goes on my central heating.. I am not having rotten food stored in my house - having your rubbish collection cut to once a fortnight is bad enough having it rot outside. Sorry ...but what happens to the earth in - god knows how many hundreds..thousands of years time - is not my personal problem - its hard enough getting by in life - without governments charging us to through away our rubbish - and telling us how & when to shower & have baths...and leave toilets unflushed..etc etc...Cimate Change nonsense is juts an excuse to Tax us with more made up Green reasons..
