Keeping the Planet Perpetual is something that We need to start doing Right Now
A government scientist has just suggested building two dams to enclose the North Sea to protect northern Europe from rising sea levels. That we are in such dire straits is exactly why it's imperative to keep the planet perpetual starting tight this minute.

Dutch and German government scientists Sjoerd Groeskamp and Joakim Kjellsson have written preparation plans for climate change mitigation failure. Their plan involves a super-structure named – Northern European Enclosure Dam (NEED). Since it is “impossible to truly fathom the magnitude of the threat that global sea level rise poses”, the scientists proposed building NEED to “fence off’ and enclose the North Sea in order to defend Northern Europe from rising sea levels. Costing £422 billion, spanning 295 miles and requiring 51 billion tons of sand to build ? the world’s entire annual sand budget for infrastructure and reclamation, the pair of dams is something we truly NEED (pun intended) to protect over 25 million people and some of the most important European economic regions (we all know what happened in the wake of China’s economic vacuum the last few months); but if level headed scientists can suggest such extreme measures, perhaps its time to wake up to the fact that the battle to keep our planet perpetual truly needs to begin right this minute.
