    Land Ack is probably the stupidest idea every. Every square inch of this planet has been conquered or seized at one time or another.

      They were interested to sit through in Oz. Because the aboriginal councils legally did own the land, thanks to the Mabo case.

      Please love yourself.

          Exactly. Those indigenous bitches didn’t even pay for it.

          Fucking squatters.

          Only non-witches get due process.

            I’m surprised that more indigenous people haven’t taken them up on the land acknowledgment and try to take back buildings.

              Oh, so we're just gonna draw an arbitrary line at when so-called "humans" encroached on native squirrel and deer lands? Fucking speciests.

                Real estate rules change over time.

                If you want to see how real estate works now, just keep your eye on the president.

                  I am very happy to acknowledge that the land on which my house stands, was once safeguarded under the great Laurentide ice sheet during the last Ice Age. I thank the Lauentide ice sheet for receding and giving the land up so that thousands of years later a family home could be built on the site.

                  There, that wasn’t so difficult..

                            Good question.

                            Best practices in freshwater management and conservation?

                              I guess you'd have to round up all the water that used to be the ice, and re-freeze it. just make sure you sort out all the H2O molecules, you don't want to accidentally mix in never-frozen water with water that had the lived experience of being a glacier. They are not the same culturally and cannot coexist.

                              Education is extremely important.

                                Yes, I could see that. Sounds like some committee work with subsequent stakeholder group consultations and public communication strategy with clearly obfuscated and evolving targets is the way to go.

                                  All the dirty water will eventually leave on it's own.

                                  And brand new water takes it's place every day.

                                  According to NASA, approximately 1.35 trillion tons of water leave the atmosphere daily through precipitation, which is essentially the same amount that enters the atmosphere through evaporation, maintaining a balanced water cycle on Earth; meaning the amount leaving is roughly equal to the amount entering each day.

                                  Key points about this:
                                  Water cycle balance: The amount of water entering the atmosphere through evaporation is roughly equal to the amount leaving through precipitation, keeping the total water content in the atmosphere relatively constant.

                                  Small atmospheric water content: Although large amounts of water cycle through the atmosphere each day, the actual amount of water present in the air at any given time is a small fraction of Earth's total water supply.

                                  Ocean dominance: Most of the evaporation and precipitation occurs over the oceans.
