Fantastic piece! The bismuth tri-iodide cloud seeding idea is genuinly brilliant and way more realistic than people think. I've seen some of China's weather manipulation tech firsthand and it actually works pretty well, the goden hour extension alone would be a gamechanger for British tourism. The broader vision about reclaiming coastlines is overdue when you consider how much potential just sits undeveloped.

Sounds like the “edgy” Scots Troon at the start of this essay, aka Legally Evelyn…

Wonderful. Simply wonderful. Let the sand pipeline flow.

I hope this dystopian vision is a joke?

If it isn’t, you can take your proposed wholesale devastation of Britain’s coastline and shove it where the sun don’t shine (no matter how much you try to tamper with the climate).

Patriotism starts with oikophilia and some of us have a spiritual attachment to this land and its native wildlife which holds more meaning for us than as a mere man child’s playground.

The first third was a little disjointed, but the rest was very funny and made some good points.
