218 Global Warming and Climate Change} Back in the late 70s or the early 80s there was plans by Saudi Arabia to tow icebergs, to that desert country!

 One thing that I remember from that time, was a plan to inject air bubbles underneath the "front" of the iceberg so that is would require less energy to tow the giant iceberg, the air bubbles would "thin" the water much like what they use for high platform diving. I see that they are still talking about this 40 and 50 years later but with-out mentioning the air bubbles, almost all of these desert countries have installed giant desalination plants, that takes seawater and by several different types of processes, producing drinkable water! This type of arrangement works well but both increase the cost of water, and in many cases, problems relating to the thick brine left behind are generated. Why am I talking about icebergs? For several reasons, first, to show people that just because there are good ideas out there, they do not aways workout, for many reasons. Second, to say that thinking outside the box, may help in getting many other ideas into the pipeline of thought. While towing icebergs into areas of need, maybe a viable solution, but many things outside of your control could interrupt a steady supply of fresh water, and back-up plans would be needed, mainly very large storage dam's for supply line interruptions. My main goal is to repair the planet's temperature-regulating ability, by using water from the great and little rivers of the planet to foster new plant life in arid and semi-arid areas of the planet! But we are talking about massive water needs, over millions of square miles, how much land will we have to plant before rainfall patterns start to change, is not something that I can speculate on! Many places such as California in the USA, has increased its rainfall patterns but they also do not use plant ground cover for the reason that we would need to be doing! Yes, the farms that we would be creating in the deserts would need to produce much more than just ground cover for they would have to also support, not just the people living there but would also need to produce enough food, and products, for the needs of a happy and prosperous society! But it is the plant respiration that will generate cloud cover, and cloud cover will reduce sunlight from hitting the planet. We will not be using much if any drip irrigation, in the hope of getting more products to sell with less water requirement, that is not the goal of this massive project! It is to make the most plant cover using every drop of water available, while using large dams as fisheries, both for an excellent protein source, and back-up water source. So we must not rely only on the great rivers of this planet, for the water needs, but must have many back-up and redundancy plans, and that may include icebergs? Please keep reading and telling others about that crazy guy from Nebraska!
