摘要: Since at least 1964 macro-engineering has proposed solutions for Earth-biosphere problems affecting mankind and its infrastructures. From 1929–1948 Herman Sorgel put forth his ‘Atlantropa Macroproject, which was designed to lower the Mediterranean Sea by 1 m every year natural evaporation irrigate Sahara with diverted Zaire River freshwater. The present author slightly modernized Sorgel's gift Homo sapiens. Construction of ‘Atlantropa’ would provide Macro-engineering Terraforming a much-needed practice run remaking our Solar System's planets.
