The American Physical Society (physicists) will talk this month about building 1,000-foot high walls in Texas, North Dakota and Oklahoma to reduce tornadoes.
“Why is it a bad idea if it could save lives and property? Simply, the law of unintended consequences. If walls almost 1000 feet in height are placed in the Central U.S., not only would tornadic activity be disrupted, but precipitation patterns would be, too. Vast areas on the lee side of the walls would see significant decreases in rainfall and areas on the windward side of the walls would see increases…”
Not to mention how dreadful it would be living in the shadow of one of these mothas. So maybe we won’t be seeing them. Or…
Shoot, if the feds can’t build a fence between Mexico and the U.S., how could they build something like this?
