  • Why do we always focus on sea level rises, when we could have sea level lowering instead?

    Actually if you want to illegally cross the American Canadian border, the best place to do so would probably be through the Boundry Waters (Minnesota) and Quetico (Ontario).

    "Mosquito Fire" just means it's a fire, and it probably started near a place called Mosquito, because we name the large fires, that one in particular having been going since early September and having survived a bout of rain. It's sorta like how hurricanes get named, though usually is after a nearby location instead of arbitrary. Some of the memorable semi-recent ones are the Camp Fire (not joking, it wiped out a place called Paradise), the King Fire, and Caldor Fire. (Caldor being a placename that's a portmanteau of Calaveras and Amador counties.)

    although a swarm of flaming mosquitoes is arguably more terrifying.

    that interactive flooding map ignores the dutch reaction, we will punch the water into a pulp and then use the pulp to make more levies and dikes or somehow sell it with a good profit margin.
    Not really, but there is a 6 meter high protection along the coast, there are controlled overflow regions near rivers for floodings and pumping stations everywhere to control water levels so its downright silly it shows a flooding at 1 meter, at most the overflow regions should be coloured blue, which on a map would look like little lakes near the rivers.

    So the reason why America has that strange price of land next to Canada called the “panhandle” is quite interesting. When the U.S first bought Alaska from Russia, the borders weren’t completely defined. So for a long time the border between Alaska and Yukon was unknown, although it didn’t matter very much to either country because it wasn’t being used for much. That was until the Yukon gold rush where they found gold in the rivers of western Yukon. The panhandle was now very important as it meant that the country who owned it could have all the gold in it. At the time, Canada could not have its own international affairs, and would rely on England to handle them. In debating who got the panhandle, England then had the final vote on who gets it. Although Canada had thought this meant they had already won, England decided to give it to the States. The reason was that England would much rather have Canada be angry at them than America, because Canada was still apart of the UK and would let it go, and America had a much stronger Military and Economy.

    When the US purchased Alaska from Russia, (a) Canada wasn't even really a country and (b) coastlines and other navigable areas were far more valuable. It's not likely to change, but in practice, it doesn't matter much because hardly anything happens on either side of the border for most of the Alaskan border.
    Vegas is about the only place on the Colorado River that WON'T run out of water. First, it has handled drought mitigation better than any other River state, and second, the lowest "straw" in Lake Mead is below the level at which Hoover Dam won't operate (thus cutting off California agriculture, the river's single biggest water-user).
