example, might be stabilized by a pile of rocks near its grounding line or, more ambitiously and with a doubled chance of success, by an underwater wall. Thwaites and the neighboring Pine Island Glacier are keys to over twenty feet of sea level rise.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%">Many of the indirect subsidies, such as health costs from the effects of burning fossil fuels, disappear as use declines; use will decline as direct subsidies decline. Our military adventures
in the Mideast, including our belligerence toward Iran, may also look less attractive after the transition to renewable energy. We shall enjoy savings and become less murderous to boot. Perhaps we should sue our governments for not looking out for our environmental
interests, and the remedy would be for them to stop subsidizing fossil fuels.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

reversing desertification. The France 24 video is worth watching first, as it sets the stage for the efforts covered in more detail in the first video.
