It is an engineering and energy problem. And yes, as long as the power plants don’t go offline. I know you want to see our demise, but we will linger on, I’m not worried.
Yes, because the major world and regional powers are just going to sit still and die when the see your country has a bunch of things they need to survive. They totally won’t invent a pretext to invade and secure those resources – that’s never happened, particularly in the middle east.
I’m sure Saudi Arabia will be able to defend itself from multiple attackers fighting for their very survival. Brilliant plan.
I love that their response to the issues with their claim that Saudi Arabia will be fucked like everywhere else is: if we build a bunch of nuclear reactors and invent an outdoor air conditioner that works in a bunch of desert cities, there will be no issues that Saudi Arabia can’t overcome when it comes to climate change.
I especially love their other claim that since 40% of their country’s population are immigrants, they can handle an influx of who knows how many more millions at their borders.
That’s a solvable problem. Saudi Arabia is building solar and wind power plants in many other countries too. And if we had nuclear technology we probably would have built nuclear power plants too for other countries.
I don’t see why people are jumping to eco-fascism when there is still plenty of clean and cheap energy to be utilized.
Not really, the data shows it’s fairly dry most of the time, especially during jun-jul with RH going as low as 40% and as high as 75%. Compare that to something like Istanbul or Pattaya where it practically never goes below 75% and such system would just spray water directly onto the ground where it’s going to stay as a puddle and never dry up.
Pretty sure those are just normal misting fans in the first comment that I’ve responded to. Those just dump water in the air which causes perceived coolness as evaporation causes significant cooling.
To blow “just cold air”, the only remaining options are either chemical, which is definitely not renewable at all, or by placing a cold radiator behind a fan. But then the question comes up where are you gonna take the coldness from? This is basically the same question as where are you going to dump the heat to? Surely, you can hook up an AC and use geothermal shenanigans to dump it under the ground, but that’d still be massively wasteful and the only way to get the ridiculous amount of energy for it at scale is from non-renewables, which would hasten the climate change even further.
I see what’s happening. I posted two different videos one of Doha and one of Madinah. Doha is one the Arabian Gulf and has a hot humid climate, Madinah is up the mountains of Hejaz and has a hot dry climate.
If you are right you will enjoy a great deal of schadenfreude, if you are wrong then you can pretend you liked it all along. Either way, you are not the target audience. I am Saudi and I like it.
Why are you resorting to ad hominem? Is this western enlightenment? Nothing but vile hate. Anyways, it is fun witnessing you squeal on your way to irrelevance.
Plenty of cheap energy (nuclear power) and outdoor cooling. It already exceeds 50C here in the summer.
Cool. That will definitely solve the water shortages and extreme weather. You’ll totally be immune from those.
And then there will be all the refugees coming from other places, demanding to be let into your somehow safe from climate change refuge.
I guess if you machine gun them all down at the border, you’ll be fine.
Desalination? Indoor and outdoor cooling?
The solutions already exist and we have been using them for years. The only thing that holding us back is not enough cheap energy since the US in the past didn’t allow us to mine and enrich our uranium but this could change with the help of China.
Saudi Arabia is already over 40% foreigners, we will manage to accommodate them somehow, or not, no way to know.
What’s up with your eco-fascism?
Looking forward to you dismissing all of this as Western propaganda:

I especially look forward to you dismissing the G20 one since Saudi Arabia is in the G20.
Are you actually claiming Saudi Arabia is going to survive climate change? Hilarious.
It is an engineering and energy problem. And yes, as long as the power plants don’t go offline. I know you want to see our demise, but we will linger on, I’m not worried.
If you know that I want to see your demise, you can provide evidence for it. Please do so.
Unless it was a lie.
Was it a lie?
Yes, because the major world and regional powers are just going to sit still and die when the see your country has a bunch of things they need to survive. They totally won’t invent a pretext to invade and secure those resources – that’s never happened, particularly in the middle east.

Good thing climate change isn’t already causing huge problems in Saudi Arabia.
That’s a solvable problem. Saudi Arabia is building solar and wind power plants in many other countries too. And if we had nuclear technology we probably would have built nuclear power plants too for other countries.

Those don’t do shit if the air is humid already
working well enough in Doha and Doha is a very humid city

The outdoor air conditioner in Doha doesn’t spray water, just cold air

Do you know what a convection oven is? Because that’s all that’s happening there. Unless we go to completely enclosed cities we can’t beat the heat.
Thank goodness for the Line, I hope it gets built on time.
Bro, The Line is literally the worst idea since the invention of Atom Bomb. Don’t believe the ads.
I am not your bro, friend.

One must be a special kind of idiot to buy into insane dictator’s fantasies.

They’re not your friend, pal.
