Drain The Oceans!
Along with the myriad reasons for paving the Earth …
… sharks, stingrays, Moray eels, jellyfish, stupid stinging/stabbing urchins/things/whatever, too much water and not enough air to breathe, everything else … could there be any clearer grounds for why we need to drain the oceans sooner rather than later?
And, as a bonus, there’d be more land for people to use, like in the Netherlands — so, nobody would need to be homeless and refugees wouldn’t need to worry about xenophobic bigots when they fled to somewhere safer.
Travel would be a lot quicker.
Also, industry wouldn’t be able to do this any more …
Moreover, as can be inferred from the featured image for this post, it’d be a lot harder to wage war.
There’d me nowhere for inhuman mutants to hide, like in Waterworld.
Finally, it’d make paving the Earth much easier.
So, it’s a win every way you look at it.
Drain the Oceans!
You know it makes sense.
This post was in no way influenced by my having drunk two cans of Desperados for the first time since accidentally stopping drinking some six years ago — it’s not like I was ever an alcoholic anyway, but, compared to the time I tried making my own version in a pub (by mixing double tequilas into my pints), rendering myself paralysed on the white line in the middle of the road in Croydon … wearing a T-shirt bearing the legend “Your dad sucks cocks in Hell” (yes, I had gone out looking for trouble that day ¹) … this is child’s play nevertheless.

¹ Duh … why else would I be in Croydon!?
