We've already been overtaken by the Chinese, and the Indians are now snapping at our heels; we can't let the Africans get ahead <clutches pearls in horror> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padders Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Owing to the present World situation IE--the risk of nuclear annihilation. Would it not be a good idea to convert all our cities into Subterranean cities.. This would free up land for agriculture uses, and the planting of millions of trees therefore reducing our carbon footprint... Any carbon generated by these Cities could be captured and stored safely away... As an added bonus these Cities would be well protected against any adverse weather conditions... Not good news for the umbrella manufacture's, but a small price to pay if we want to survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at films that are set in the future, some seem to think that is what the future will be like. Except the underground cities are after the nuclear war. Maybe that is inevitable? I would think the populations would be much reduced. Maybe houses with cellars will increase in price? Where should we shelter in the event of being nuked?
