"In the countries around it..." You mean Russia/USSR. Russia drained the Aral sea.

Without putting too fine a point on it - the waters that were diverted remain in the same countries as the Aral sea. They could put the water back...

Lake Chad and also Salt lake in Utah are other examples of water sources being diverted away from the lakes themselves. The Salt lake has 11 rivers being used for industrial and domestic use diverted away from flowing into and preserving the levels. Chad mostly has the water run off for agriculture. But instead of telling the truth it is all blamed on global boiling B.S.

You mean that the Soviet drained the rivers feeding the Aral sea to farm cotton and completely stuffed the environment of a gigantic area.

“Extreme Climate” being the climate of the USSR diverting the water away from the Aral Sea to use in farming. If only “climate change” had not diverted the water away from that sea, it would still be a sea rather than a wasteland.

The Benifits for Europe are immeasurable. You gain fishing rights. We all get cleaner water,you strengthen ties to a foreign country. The narrow mindedness of the right is comical. You all think that you don’t depend on small countries like this for the luxuries that you take for granted everyday. Globalism is responsible for most of these luxuries. Go join an isolationist country like North Korea. And watch your lifestyle dissolve before your eyes. Access to the world is key to your lifestyle.
