Worried about floodings, tsunamis, hurricanes, etc., more and more inhabitants living on coastal islands and situated around country shores were moving inland, making less available housing and jobs for overpopulated cities. Less and less land was available as time went on and as more greenhouse gases were being entered into the Earth's atmosphere. It was then that president Ronald Reagan proposed that the habitable moon Luna would provide enough land for millions to live on, introducing the Lunar Colonization movement.
