Any time people try to blame capitalism for environmental problems I invite them to visit the Aralkum Desert.
You ever think about how the Soviets straight up killed the third largest freshwater lake in the world to grow cotton?

That's not all. Might I present photos of the Aral Sea from 1989 and 2014?
But they also create: the Aralkum Desert. Oh, and the remaining dust is heavily polluted, of course.

Odsolovací zařízení u nás není a nebude třeba. Jsme střecha Evropy.
Stačí vodou šetřit. Než Izrael přišel s odsolováním, vodou šetřil. Ani kapka nazmar.
My máme dotace nastavené na tvorbu pouští (viz chruščevovský Aralkum). Podobně lesy vysušujeme, aby Agrotec dobře prodával těžké těžební stroje.

Si no fuera porque la ciencia no va por ahí, uno pensaría que se trata de una venganza de la naturaleza. Ahora lo llaman Aralkum, el desierto de Aral. Es tan salino que las tormentas de arena están secando los regadíos que lo secaron a él en el pasado del desarrollismo soviético.
El mar de Aral ha perdido casi el 90% de su extensión y más del 93% de su volumen. Ahora, un grupo de científicos ha descubierto que el antiguo lecho marino se está elevando, liberado de la masa de tanta agua.

The Aral Sea is still one of the greatest environmental catastrophes caused by human action.
Whilst applauding attempts to halt wind-blown toxic sediments & sands, might mass planting of black saxaul trees hold the answer? Possibly, but so much more needs to be done...

I see this, on an overall national scale, as the probable result of all this fucking bullshit.
Overall, Soviet style US collapse.
But there are places, whole regions/states, that'll be levels of devastation ranging from the Aralkum in the former Soviet Union to the Eye Of Terror in Warhammer 40K.

Yes. The Supreme Court would quickly overturn that but they would have to do it on a case by case basis.
This is likely what they want, at it would make the supreme court useless, and hence undermine US law, but if USA then just is disassembled into it's separate states, so be it.
Better than war.
