  God said to Noah, "I established my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth." God made a covenant with mankind after the worlds great flood when he made a rainbow to confirm that he would never flood the world again.(Taken from Genesis 9:11)Alaskas glaciers and the polar ice cap are shrinking, as are glaciers in the Himalayas and Greenland and the ice sheet in Antarctica.This phenomenon threatens to flood coastlines around the world with 15 feet (5 meters) of water.Rather than simply worry about global warming, Mr.Lee set out to find a solution.He has designed a project that has the potential to address the flooding problem while creating vast supplies of hydroelectric energy and arable land.His idea is to create a new sea, on land.Hydroelectric power plants will harness vast amounts of energy as the seawater flows into the land-locked sea.This power supply will create an economic stimulus for poverty-plagues Egypt and its neighbors.And, perhaps most exciting, it can be used to desalinate the sea water to cultivate parts of the Sahara,turning it into reproductive farm land and create millions of jobs in the Middle East.By implementing this plan the world will save millions of acres of land and trillions of dollars from property loss and population relocation costs."Why war? Why not big projects? The price for a better world does not have to be blood, it can be sweat" (Former Alaska Governor Walter J.Hickel, 1919-2010).
