>"Australia has roughly the same land area as the USA (excluding Alaska) - and yet the USA is fabulously wealthy, and Oz is not. But at least one person thinks that we can fix this by building a mountain, several thousand kilometres long, along the border that Western Australia has with South Australia and the Northern Territory.
The reasoning is simple. Clouds will form as the air is forced to climb over this artificial mountain - and the clouds and the turbulent weather created by the mountain will give rain, which should make the deserts bloom. The fertile land would lead to a vastly-increased population, which would soon make Australia fabulously wealthy."
So that's it, we simply shift some Earth and we become a Superpower to Rival the US, then we can annex New Zealand to make up for Alaska.
I think they mean >The fertile land would lead to a vastly-increased immigration intake Aside from that, I think that'd have extremely negative effects on weather patterns around the rest of the world mate. >inb4 i don't care about the rest of the world how many reffos would that make? we'd be 'obliged' to take them in.

Look i'm down on one condition.. That we populate those regions from our own genetic stock.... And that wont ever happen they will import africa into these fertile zones.. Id prefer a literal arid desert than african village in australia.

that would be cool

Man, the obsession with annexation is so puzzling. We'll be happy to sell you our sheep for a reasonable price, and we'll even pretend to believe you when you say you want to eat them so you can shag them in peace. It's fine.

They would flood the country with more fucking immigrants. Colonizing Australia would have to be a slow process, coupled with policies promising monetary benefits to mid-high income people having children. All that after deporting the vast majority of non-whites.
Luis Diaz
OP, the idea of creating any appreciable mountain by moving dirt/rock is absurd. The time and resources of this literal "Global scale endeavor requiring all of Humanities assistance" - would be better spent on a Space Elevator or something of that sort - and not to slightly increase Australia's rainfail.
What happens when you are halfway through and we've discovered a new technology or method to do exactly what you're trying to do in just a few months without burning the last drop of fossil fuels over 500 years of earth moving?
Camden Hall
Also you need more than rain to make fertile land.

So does everybody in Australia live on the outer green parts? Looks comfy there desu but looks a right hot shithole in the middle. Is all the orange uninhabitable or just unpleasant enough that the only people who live there are abbos but maybe that's why its seen as unpleasant.
Does Tasmania have abbos?

I'm loving this.
However we have another problem tho: >We lack the Manpower
We've got a population of like ~24 million right? Meanwhile, the United States has over 300 fucking million.
However, you gotta remove half aswell to accommodate for useless fucking women that barely work in those type of jobs at all
We now have ~12 million Now we have to accomadate for Old people and Kids (roughly 5 million)
We now ONLY have 7 million people left to work with to create our "superpower"
Levi Gonzalez
I prefer the idea of creating a river that will fill the salt lakes in South Australia. It's actually possible to create a LOT more arable land in Australia, but it will take some effort

Too much wasted land on the continent

considering the cost of making a 2000km+ long mountain, it might be cheaper to just terraform mars and call it Australia 2. Bonus: no emus

Terraforming the desert is as simple as planting a green wall, but you'd effectively wipe out the habits of a huge number of flora and fauna.
It would never get approval unless the coasts became uninhabitable.
Michael Ortiz
Fun Fact: Australia can sign a document forcing New Zealand into the federation without a refferendum
Nathaniel Hill
>Terraforming the desert is as simple as planting a green wall, but you'd effectively wipe out the habits of a huge number of flora and fauna. Yes, but they were already trying to wipe you out anyhow.
Aiden Baker
Yeah fuck it, build a mountain. If it doesn't work at least it will be cool to look at
Adrian Ramirez
Plant grass and shrubs and trees. The roots would hold it all together. We could also make it out of steel. Maybe it could be a massive city complex in and of itself, an air base or scientific study area.

Parker Ortiz
The problem with building a mountain range is that it depends on the way that the wind blows and it also makes one side really lush and green and the other a barren wasteland.
Look at the mountain range in California or the Andes in South America.
It would be a shitshow figuring out where we would put the mountains, it would cost a lot of money and it would not neccesarily fix a bunch of stuff,.
Honestly I think that it could potentially be cheaper just to build a bunch of solar/nuclear powered desalination plants and create a bunch of aforrestation and reforrestation projects.
Isaiah Peterson
Yes. One of their traditional hunting methods was to burn down the forest and catch what animals ran out. This is not a joke.
Nathaniel Allen
On internet it is.
Parker Harris
Yes and they killed loads of megafauna.
B-but muh spiritual native people amirite?

This was common all over the world before the start of agricultural societies. It was popular in South America too.

Create an inland sea, it will improve the climate and would be only cost 10 Panama canals.

Jace Taylor
A giant wombat basically.
Jacob Lewis
you mean it was just common in south america too. australia is the only place that is mostly desert thanks to these practices. more advanced races learned extremely early on how to make clearings to lure prey, encircle then slaughter.
Jacob Miller
We don't know if the megafauna were killed due to the appearance of people or if they were killed because of the changing climate (ice ages).
Austin Foster
They don't live in mountains, they live in flat planes, so they are pushing for this.
Jackson Lopez
This entire continent is just some bizarre collection of shit God came up with when he was blackout drunk.

This Hunting practices changed very early as well as the advent of agriculture. Alterations in hunting methods can be seen with things like the onset of the clovis point.
Brandon Kelly

Luis Ortiz
So a great earthworks and construction project? if we do that, build our own Nuclear Power Stations, some large scale solar farms, Nuke Melbourne into glass and begin importing Right wing whites from the fall of Europe we might pull it off. So long as China don't just buy us first.

Most of Continental North America is arable (farmable) land, essentially making U.S. one giant bread basket and is able to support their large population, Australia however is mostly desert, with only some green areas around the south west and south east.
Big difference.
Unless we start mass producing Nuclear Molten Salt reactors and start mass desalinating ocean water to make more land arable, trying to make Australia a Super power on par with the U.S. is a pipe dream.
Aaron Phillips
>build a mountain There is almost always a large desert on one side of a mountain, and a wet rainy side. Chile, American west, etc
icsm.gov.au/mapping/images/10M_Australia.bmp looking at their topography, it looks like they just need to level the 'mountain' on the east coast/Sydney which appears to get really good rainfall. Move the material over to the west coat/Perth side.
After the 500 years that would take, they'll have a Rain Forest.
Noah Jackson

Isaac Reed

Come on, Aussie bro.
Lost to fucking EMUS.
As if that wasn't enough, Australia has a second hidden MONSTROSITY that lies dormant:
The Abos.
The moment the Abos decide to take back their land, it's over.
Search your feelings. you know this to be true.
Joshua Jackson
This makes me believe the only way a mountain could work is by shielding the south from the heat.
This is a desert land where the sun beats down.
>fake mountain range Hmm
My issue with flooding the inland lakes is that if we do it without building a canal, say extreme cloud seeding the area, then there's a distant chance the lake won't be so salty.
I believe they're already doing wide scale cloud seeding, sometimes you see stripes of clouds in our weather radar.
