Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

This footage from USGS shows the Mendenhall Glacier in Alaska forming a natural ice dam. As meltwater builds up and suddenly releases, it triggers a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF).

The cryosphere is changing, and with it, the risks we face.
