and they'll use it to build an elevator to the sun or something retarded.

It just struck me that the population of Dubai are actually dwarves.

You call that a big fountain? I bet I could make one 10 times that size.

And at half the cost!

If I recall the UAE are building the worlds 'first' carbon neutral city (I plan to move there one day). And also a themepark bigger than all other themeparks. What else? Oh yeah, a fucking launch pad for space tourists!

They're playing it pretty well tbh. They're investing all the money they make from oil straight into tourism, since tourism is one industry that'll never die... until the oil... runs out, hmm I see a flaw in this plan. Maybe they'll be like me when playing roller coaster tycoon, if my guests are wanting to leave I'll just delete the path to the only exit.

Car exhaust isn't exactly something that can be swept under the rug either.

Dwarfs would certainly try. Also, Dubai is seriously the city of megaprojects. They have a ski resort (sort of) in the middle of the desert.

Christ, are you dwarves or are you elves? If you think Hell has too many demons, then you kill them till the population reaches an acceptable number.

They both are adding to the problem, although lifestock produces methane, which is more adding to global warming then the same amount of carbondioxide.
Still, if you would have to choose between either all cars out of the way or all cows out of the way the decision would easily be made to remove all cars.

EDIT: I really loved those fountains, made me put Dubai near the top of my list of places I want to visit :)

Yeah, removing all the cars would work so well. Assuming you want to cause a major collapse of society.

Lol, building a carbon neutral city is a great idea for a country that's making its money from exporting carbon! Whatever you're saving by taking the train is offset by whatever millions of gallons of petrol that was exported to pay for that train.

It is not just about environment. Oil will run out, and they will be ready. Also, every drop of oil not used is good I suppose.

Ah yes, Dubai, the city on crack. They build the tallest building in the world and, not satisfied, immediately set out to build a taller one. And put a football stadium on top of it. And build themselves some artificial islands to stick hotels on. And then suspend the islands a thousand hundred feet in the sky in an artificial sea. Dubai is FUCKING WICKED!
Corrected.
